Renting Solar Panels

Hi Joseph:

I designed and built a very energy efficient passive solar home recently and had planned to have solar electric, however once I actually looked at the high initial cost I decided to buy my electric from the local power company. I am not happy about this since they generate almost all of their electricity from coal, and I have seen firsthand what an environmental catastrophe this is. Recently I learned about a new company called Citizenre, that has a plan to make Solar electric much more widely available by renting the systems, instead of selling them. They have eliminated the upfront cost and even made it cheaper to go with solar by locking in your current electric rate for 25 years. Although it will still be awhile before they are able to install the systems, I have signed up my house and even become a salesperson for this company.
