Perhaps the biggest obstacle for most families interested in going solar is the initial investment. PosiGen has found a way around that obstacle and is making solar affordable to those who can use the savings the most; low and moderate income families. Not only do savings come in the form of low cost energy used directly in the home, but also in the form of energy credits for excess energy production that is fed back to the grid. At PosiGen, a wide array of evaluation and education programs are also available to help homeowners focus their home improvement dollars on those items that will provide the greatest benefit.
PosiGen offers solar systems on purchase and lease arrangements. Lease arrangements include set monthly payments, system monitoring, system maintenance, system install and home efficiency upgrades. At PosiGen, system purchase includes install, 12 year system monitoring, and the immediate increase of home value. PosiGen also offers whole home energy audits to help homeowners increase the overall energy efficiency of their home.
The audits include Blower Door Test, Thermal Imaging, Window and Door Assessment, Attic Evaluation, Combustion Appliance Test, and a Personalized Home Energy Report. They also maintain an online BLOG to help educate consumers about the benefits of solar power. By thinking outside the box, PosiGen has found a business model that benefits more than themselves. Locally, over 65% of PosiGen’s employees live in the communities they serve. So, success for PosiGen means success for their neighbors. Globally, the success of solar is a benefit to the global community. A win, win, win, arrangement.
