Is it possible to help the environment and save money at the same time? It may sound like a contradiction but with the new solar panel "rental" promotion, this scenario is becoming a reality.
Finally, the average homeowner can reduce their carbon footprint and save money too. Going solar has never been easier. Years ago it would have cost thousands to purchase and install a photovoltaic system and would take 10+ years to recoup your costs.
Local solar installers such as Boulder's Namaste Solar, have partnered up with a financing company to provide solar system "rentals". With little or no up front cost, you can have a photovoltaic system installed and maintained for less than your current monthly electrical bill. The current energy rate is locked in for twenty years (yes!), and is transferable should you sell the house.
There are a few caveats in renting a photovoltaic system. For one, you need good solar exposure. Older neighborhoods, like ours here in Denver, can have south facing roofs with chimneys or large trees obstructing the sun. But with more and more people choosing to improve their properties with additions and garages, solar friendly surfaces are on the rise. So in time, Denver has the potential of becoming a solar city! Call your local solar installer and inquire, you could start making energy and saving money today!
