"It would be hard to overstate how impressive 2016 was for the solar industry," said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association. "Prices dropped to all-time lows, installations expanded in states across the country and job numbers soared. The bottom line is that more people are benefitting from solar now than at any point in the past, and while the market is changing, the broader trend over the next five years is going in one direction - and that's up."
Solar Integrated Roofing Corporation (OTC: SIRC) announced breaking news yesterday that, "they have entered into a national agreement with TPO, third-party-ownership and finance company, to enhance their financing options for their solar and roofing customers."
"Bottom line, we have basically eliminated any financial roadblocks for our customers to go solar. This agreement will make our expansion into new areas much easier and more streamlined," said CEO Dave Massey. "Under these types of arrangements, a resident or business hosts a renewable system that is owned by a separate investor."
The company is working with Sunrun and offering their financing to all of Solar Integrated's clients. The homeowner simply pays a low, locked-in rate for the power that's produced, typically saving 20% on their electric bill.
"This arrangement helps us expand our footprint," added Massey. "Electric utility companies have sent letters to consumers recently, warning of California-Mandated High Usage Charges going into effect next month. These surcharges can dramatically increase electric bills. Our range of financing and TPO options now makes it easy for our customers to decide to go solar, because in every case, they will be saving money from day one. It simply makes no sense to not go solar."
Sunworks Inc (NASDAQ: SUNW) announced recently a new, 521 kW solar and battery construction for Angelus Temple in Los Angeles.
