One of the most exciting, easiest ways to install solar panels is gaining momentum!  Two new solar lease programs have recently been announced, which help people convert to solar energy while minimizing upfront costs.

Can you imagine tapping into solar electricity with no down payment?  Did you know that you can lease solar panels?

Consider these two new options that can help you reduce the cost of solar panels:

Sungevity is launching a 10-year residential solar lease program.  The monthly fee (there are no upfront costs) covers maintenance, monitoring, cleaning and insurance of panels installed on your rooftop.  Sungevity also helps you determine which solar system is best suited for your location, and has consultants on call 12 hours a day to answer questions.   In fact, customer service is such a priority that you can get a proposal based on your request within 24 hours of submitting it – weekends included!

Similarly, those who live in Texas can explore a solar lease with TXU Energy.  Through a partnership with SolarCity, the solar lease program will run you only about $35 a month!  You will save much more than that in monthly utility bills.

Once again, there are no upfront costs, no maintenance – its so easy.  I wish I lived in Texas!
