We all know the sun can make us feel warmer and happier, provide us with ample Vitamin D, give our skin some nice color and make our plants grow… but have you ever given thought to how the sun could lower your electricity bill?

Sungevity, a team of “solar panel specialists,” vows to help clients do just that. By channeling the power of the sun, Sungevity is able to provide customers with customized solar plans that supply homes with clean and affordable energy. The company specializes in residential solar installations, and strongly believes that solar power should be a viable option for everyone.

It is complimentary to order and obtain the initial online quote or “iQuote” for the solar system that Sungevity develops to best fit the customer’s needs. The iQuote can be generated completely electronically within 24 hours! The design team at Sungevity accomplishes this using aerial imagery and their own software to generate a presentation of how solar power can be benefit the prospective customer’s household.

If the client approves the iQuote, he or she can choose to lease or buy; payments begin in regular installments upon implementation of the plan. Sungevity also provides free monitoring, maintenance and repair throughout the lives of its solar systems. According to the Sungevity website, it takes about 7 to 8 years to pay for the system, but once it’s paid off, it requires little maintenance. Therefore, aside from reducing the household’s carbon footprint, the service also provides a great return on investment. Clients selecting Sungevity’s lease option typically experience 15% savings on their electricity bills.

Sungevity prides itself on helping people with three important objectives: “Save Money. Save Time. Save The Planet.” The company’s services will likely only increase in value as electricity rates rise, oil dependence continues, and more emphasis is placed on attaining a “green” economy. There’s really nothing to lose! Check out Sungevity’s site and see what they can do for you.
