Solar Electricity is doable so long as you pick the right solar company and strategy
How many of us have checked into solar only to find that it is impossible to succesfully do because of the enormous expense. Just the amount of solar panels and batteries you would need to power your refridgerator would be out of most peoples budget and the time it would take to recoup the investment would be quite awhile. You would be looking at spending around $20,000 for the energy you would need to power your refridgerator all year long. That is a big investment!
Because solar is this expensive most people immediately start looking elsewhere for a green energy approach that costs less. Wind turbines and vegetable oil generators are a couple ways of doing it for less. Before we steer clear of solar for good there has been a new more affordable way to retrofit your house with solar and it actually be an affordable solution. There is a solar panel manufacturer that will retrofit your house with solar panels they produce for only a $500 deposit. The way this manufacturer can get away with charging so little is that you have to pay the manufacturer for the solar energy it produces. The manufacturer tries to keep the electric rate you pay them similar to what you would pay your Retail Electric Provider. If the solar panel infrastructure they put on your house gets destroyed that will not be a problem. The company will maintain it for free. If something goes wrong, they fix it, at their expense.
This program is known as the Citizenre program.
There is a web presence for this online that will help you get started in the sign up process.
Solar can be free because their is a profit incentive to make it free
Solar has never been affordable but so many people think harnessing the suns energy is a great green way to go. It makes sense, because you have all of this heat from the sun going to waiste otherwise. It would be nice if solar was affordable so you could use this energy and do away with coal fired power plants and other pollution causing generation plants. In the past even if you were to invest in solar to try and save money you would end up losing your money then if you had of placed it in a money market account instead. So we have practically no one who really is all that interested in solar in order to save money on their energy bill. The Citizenre program however attempts to make this power source affordable to the masses.
Solar has many new inventions in the horizon. We have over 5 different companies who have a business model devoted to making a solar product that is affordable enough to have those who invest in it actually save money on their electricity. That would mean the cost involved in purchasing their solar kit is not cost prohibitive. Citizenre has a rental program where they will install the system for you and you basically rent it from them while paying them for the electricity. Also remember this company will fix for free any problem along the way. Film based solar cells at a super thin size will eventually make solar panels affordable for everyone. New solar panels built out of plastic will take up more space but will be about 10 times cheaper to build then conventional solar panels. A new mirror technology that harnesses more of the sun rays and beams them onto the solar panels will make solar more efficient. Solar appears to have a bright and less expensive future.

Hi
Good post!
Thanks

Stupid idea ! Pay $500 for opportunity to buy electricity from this company by putting at risk my own house ! What do i get for that ? Forget it !
I checked out this program and they are actually running it like a MLM. They have independent distributors who are called ecopreneurs who try to get you to install they systems and sign a 25 year contract to purchase the electricity produced by their panels. The ecopreneurs try to recruit others to make money off of their sales and it goes down like 5 levels. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone created a MLM out of going green.
I’m not a big fan of the MLM game. I agree with Rainey, this may not be that great of an idea after all.
I think this is a great idea, except for the 25 yr contract. I’m tired of seeing the money I pay for electricity or anything go to pay for corporate jets or commercial advertising. Most people are network marketers, they just don’t get paid for it. When was the last time you saw a movie and recommended it to a friend. Did you get a check for any amount of money? I didn’t. I do get paid in my mlm businesess whether I refer someone or someone else refers someone. I get paid instead of the advertisers.
My family and I have been looking into solar energy for a while now we are tired of paying anywhere between 400.00 up to 900.00 a month for our elecricty. I am intrested in anything you can send me to see if this is possible we are looking at both solar and wind we live in an area where we always have wind and there are no trees so no blocking the sun. Please contact me to see if we can work together.
I’m from Shreveport LOUISIANA and I have four (4) kids as a single parent and I’m searching for something to help Me save energy and money. It’s been hard to find out how to get free solar system service for this area. I think this could be a start in the right directions. Can anyone out there help Me?
It is almost a good idea, but not quite. If, instead of a rental, it was a “Rent to buy” system, where after a period of time it becomes mine to own that would come with a warrenty period beyond that point then I would go for it in a heart beat. And even if it wasn’t, if it wasn’t for such a long term contract I would still consider it as an alternative, but I have plans to someday own my own solar panel so if I am stuck with their system on my roof I would have no room to put my own up, so basically this just is not for me.
