What I am about to reveal to you may sound two good to be true, but is not! It is however the best opportunity you will see to make a real change for the better on our planet.
Here it is!
I just stumbled on to a fantastic grass roots organization called Powur of Citizenre. At first I thought that it was too good to be true, but after careful investigation it turns out to be real!
I was amazed!
These people will install a solar array on your roof, tie it into your local electric company and the system will produce all the electric your house uses, neutralizing your power bill to nothing but a minor connection fee you pay to the utility (usually around $10.00). Then you pay them a rental fee equal to your monthly electric bill.
The advantages are phenomenal.
First you help clean the environment while stemming GLOBAL WARMING, support energy independence, support national security by becoming energy independent and hedge against rising energy costs by getting no rate change in your power bill because you get the current power rate for the remainder of the contract, which can be for as long as 1-5 or even 25 years. There are no instillation costs, no maintenance fees, no permit hassles and no performance worries. Through this program you are virtually able to eliminate your risk in adopting solar power.
They do all this for a $500.00 deposit on the equipment.
Up until now the up front cost to go solar has been the biggest stumbling block for those of us who want to do the right thing. This opportunity puts it well within the budget of the average American household. You no longer have an excuse, it is time to stop procrastinating, get off your duff and go solar!
Think about it, with fuel costs skyrocketing and fuel being the major portion of your electric bill, this program can virtually guarantee that your electric bill will not increase for the next 25 years. That’s incredible!
They are schedule to start instillations sometime in 2009 and if you sign up now they will use your current electric rate to calculate the contract. This will guarantee you that rate even if electric costs go up this year (which they probably will). You are under no obligation until after they come out to your house and do a free energy audit. Then only if you accept their offer do you need to put down the deposit money. Oh’ by the way the deposit money is refundable with interest earned at bond rates upon compleation of the contract.
BUT WAIT it gets better. For each and every referral you give them, that takes a system, they reduce your monthly bill by 5% of that referrals bill and you can refer until you have no bill to pay.
Since they are renting you the equipment, they will maintain it at no cost to you.
The system is transferable to a new owner if you should sell your home, (this adds to its value).
Imagine being able to tell a potential home buyer that your home is solar and they will have a low electric bill for the remainder of your contract. That is if you are willing to let go of the contract. You also have the option of transferring the solar array to your new home at no cost to you and at the same rate with restrictions (only available on a 25 year contract).
So your question is. HOW DO THEY MAKE MONEY?
Hears the answer! They don’t have any fuel costs like the power companies do and they are manufacturing their own solar systems to keep costs down, so all the money they don’t spend on fuel or profits to the manufacturer are used to amortize the systems and when they have recovered the system cost the rest is pure profit, which they roll back into producing more solar systems etc.
Pretty good idea?
You have nothing to loose by signing up, there is no obligation. All you are doing is locking in the current power rate so if you want to participate in their program when it becomes available, you have locked in at today’s rate and you get a forward position on their list to be installed.
Do yourself a favor by signing up for a 25 year contract (it can always be shortened or canceled), but believe me the last thing you will want to do is shorten or cancel the contract. www.jointhesolution.com/solartoyou .
If you can not see the wisdom in this I understand, not everyone has the foresight to see what is coming. I ask you to please send anyone you think might be interested to the sight. I am trying to promote this because I believe in it and think that it is a great opportunity for everyone who is concerned about Global Warming to save money while saving the planet.
PS The systems are installed on the south side of your home and will shade it while absorbing the sun light further lowering your energy consumption.
The power from the system is also available during power outages (only while the sun is shining).
Please ask me any questions you may have, I will be glad to answer them and put solar in your subject box so it will get immediate attention. dennis_b_bischof@yahoo.com
What is Net Metering?
Simply stated Net Metering is when a power company must buy electricity that is co-generated by alternative renewable sources. They are not obligated to pay cash but must issue energy credits to the co-generator for consumption later. Some utility companies don't like the idea of private production of energy and see net-metering as a threat to revenue, so some states have passed net metering laws to force it on them and in June 2007 the US Congress introduced a resolution creating 25x'25 as a national goal that will include net metering on a national level. “It gained the support of 90 House representatives and 28 senators,” said Read Smith, co-chair of 25x'25. What is 25x'25?"25x'25" is a rallying cry for renewable energy and a goal for America – to get 25 percent of our energy from renewable resources like wind, solar, and biofuels by the year 2025. According to the American Wind Association Web site, net-metering is a way to meter the energy consumed and produced at a home or business that has its own renewable energy generator. Excess electricity produced will then spin the electricity meter backward, banking the electricity until it is needed by the customer. The NNEC report urged that the idea be considered by states without net-metering programs, adding that those states with such programs should re-evaluate what they have. The report suggests net-metering may be one viable solution to current financial, security and environmental energy problems and may also be a way to assist in meeting the 25x'25, which was determined to be a realistic expectation by a recent RAND study. "Net-metering reduces demand on the central grid which reduces the overall demand making that 25 percent of renewabl's a lot easier to obtain," Chris Cooper, executive director of the NNEC, said Thursday. The 25x'25 plan supports producing 25 percent of America's electricity and vehicle fuel from renewable resources by 2025. The RAND study, released this week at a news conference in Washington, found the goal is achievable under current conditions and would not significantly alter the nation's energy expenditure. Even if the predictions are accurate, the economic impact of 25x'25 is still debatable.
