New Solar Discount Program in Marin
Posted Nov 16, 2007 @ 10:03 am, Viewed by 344 Visitors, Read 353 Times.
If you live in Marin County California and have been thinking about putting in a solar-powered electric system, now just might be the time to do it. Novato based SPG Solar Inc. will install solar systems at a discounted rate for residents of Marin County through February 2008.
The discount was arranged by GoSolarMarin, which is a group of Marin residents organized by San Rafael resident Lisa Max. In an effort to gain some consumer clout with the philosophy of strength in numbers, GoSolarMarin asked 10 solar system installers to submit bids, and SPG Solar submitted the winning proposal. SPG Solar states that its offer to install solar-powered systems throughout Marin County at the rate of $7.94 per watt represents a savings of about 17% as compared with the average cost of installing such a system.
Marin isn’t the only Bay Area community to get involved with a “group-buy” discount or other solar incentive program. Residents of the Portola Valley participated in a similar program last year and the city of Berkeley has a plan to help homeowners finance new solar-power systems with a bond issue. San Francisco and Santa Cruz are considering similar programs.
Going solar isn’t inexpensive, but the immediate contribution to the environment and the long-term impact on your pocketbook make it a notion well worth considering – especially now, with this 3 month discount offer. If you are a Marin County resident, or are about to buy a home in Marin, this program is a great incentive.
