Solar Power systems without a doubt are a fabulous environmentally way to save money on your energy costs, Although the initial upfront prices are sometimes quite high and a lot of people like yourself may feel that this is too much to pay and decide to put the idea off for another day.
A San Fransisco company has realized this and they have devised a solution that may make you think again about solar energy for your residence.
Instead of paying maybe up to US$20,000 for the installation of a solar system. The company, SunRun, will just ask for around US$1,000. But before you get too excited at that price, you should know just what is on offer here.
For this price, SunRun will install solar panels on your home and also take care of any ongoing maintenance and repair that may be needed. In return, you will be able to buy the electricity generated for a much reduced price than you would pay your utility. Paying on average only 13 cents instead of 30 cents you would be saving more than 50% percent on your electrical usage.

This is not a short term solution. An 18 year contract is required and some may think that is too long, but as energy rates will no doubt increase dramatically in 5 or 10 years, you will still be paying the same cheap rate for any energy you use that is generated by your solar panels. If 18 years is a long time, think about how long you will be paying your electrical company for electrical power. A lifetime.
This is a quick, low cost and of course environmentally friendly way in to solar and an easy way to start saving that precious money. To sum it all up, you get cheap electricity for letting the company use your roof to install their solar panels, which is actually an idea that may be a viable option to many of you.
The company operates in California, Arizona and Massachusetts. Other Companies may offer this type of cheap solar energy installation in other states and have companies offering similar solutions.
