Free solar panels for your home

[Courtesy Flush]

I just found this company that installs solar panels onto people's homes, but they own the panels, and they maintain them. They're generating electricity... and selling it to you.

If I understand correctly, they sell electricity to you at or below your current power cost, so you can go green and not pay a lot of green. They invest their money, and they take all the tax benefits, so everybody wins.

Not sure how wide-spread the program is, but I wanted to pass it along.

1. What a great idea!

I would hope you could buy them at some point, sort of a rent to own deal.

2. Solar energy could be a big growth industry

Especially personal solar on a house per house basis like this. It's not offered in our area or I'd be jumping on it today.

3. I was surprized it's offered here

We're usually the last to get anything progressive, but we get lots of sunlight, so I guess that was a factor.
