GoSolarMarin Selects SolarCity For Phase Two
San Rafael CA (SPX) Oct 28, 2008 GoSolarMarin and SolarCity have announced a collaboration that can make it possible for Marin County property owners to install solar power and pay less than they currently do for electricity. The selection of SolarCity as vendor of choice for Phase II by GoSolarMarin (GSM) combines two innovations"community group discount pricing and no-money-down lease financing"into the most affordable solar power option ever offered in the County. The GSM/SolarCity program begins October 27, 2008 and runs through February 28, 2009. The GoSolarMarin solar purchase price will be $6.56 per DC watt ($7.87 per AC watt) for most residential and commercial installations. SolarLease customers can receive their first three months free as part of the GoSolarMarin program by signing a contract within three weeks of receiving a proposal. According to GSM founder Lisa Max, "Our first program was an unprecedented success. This time, our negotiated price combined with current California rebates and the 30 percent Federal Tax Credit, makes solar affordable for almost everyone. By partnering with SolarCity, we also offer a lease option that can save homeowners money from day one. If there ever was a win-win moment, this is it." Max said that the 2008 selection process, initiated in September, involved 30 vendors. The evaluation panel included Dana Armanino, Marin County"s coordinator of green business, energy efficiency and solar programs as well as Max and GSM Steering Committee members Carol Benson, and Jennifer Hewitt. For each installation, SolarCity will make a contribution to MarinLink, a non-profit organization that supports a variety of Marin County educational and community service projects, including Project Homeless Connect, CircleCenter Foundation, Cool the Earth, and Green Your School. "We"re thrilled to partner with GoSolarMarin to offer the most affordable solar power options Marin County has ever seen," said SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive. "When homeowners have the option to use clean power for the same price or less than they currently pay for electricity, they overwhelmingly choose clean power. We fully expect this to be the most successful community program in the state"s history." Related Links GoSolarMarin SolarCity SolarLease All About Solar Energy at SolarDaily.com
