SolarCity - Lease Solar Panels for your home!

First to recommend

Description

I just met some reps for this company at the Autumnal Green Festival in Laguna Beach, and had to share with my fellow TNers! Basically, they're the only company that lets you lease solar panels - so you don't have to pay a chunk of money up front and wait for the savings to roll in. Perfect for any homeowner - they come to your home and analyze your kilowatt usage to design the perfect solar panel installation. Then, the install them, monitor their output, and handle any and all maintenance during the leasing. So, you're slashing your monthly energy bills (which are going to increase massively by next year), getting tax credits for having renewable energy, and saving the planet all for a monthly rental fee. When you combine the fee with your new low energy bills, the result is lower than your old energy bills. It's a win win situation, and it doesn't get much easier than this. They even come to your house and do a FREE consultation.

Description

These are highly needed for my apartments treacherous stairs. I pray I won't fall down them everytime I leave my apartment when it's dark out. These would solve the problem without using any energy (except the sun's!). Perfect.

Solar Powered Patio Umbrella - Shade by Day and Light at Night

4 people recommended this item

Description

Now THIS is a great idea. My dad usually winds Christmas lights through the umbrella so that we can see at night-time, but then you can't close the umbrella and it wastes energy. The solar powered umbrella is brilliant. Sun charges the lights all day, and when the sun goes down the lights come on automatically to light up the table, backyard, and mood!
