Sign up for Solar!

An amazing company called Citizenrē offers a great solar solution for any homeowner. Most people avoid switching to solar because the initial investment of the solar panels are so heavy. Citizenrē solves this problem by making the investment for you by purchasing solar panels, paying for the installation and maintenance and charging you a fixed rate for the energy it produces.

You save money (and the environment!) because they charge you at a fixed rate lower than what your current utility company charges you and you can sell the excess energy you generate with your solar panels back to your utility company. Over a period of 25 years you can save over $40,000!

Seem too good to be true? You obviously benefit because you don't have to pay as much money for your electricity bill and you don't have to suffer that huge initial payment for the solar panels and Citizenrē makes a profit by charging you for the electricity over a period of time so that the initial heavy investment that they made for you pays off.

CitizenRe currently has no systems installed. They publicly state that they will not install any until September 2007 (date may have changed in the last few days). However, they also do not have a manufacturing plant (no date for ground breaking either), they have actually not raised the $650 million of capital they refer to, and their projected numbers of systems to be installed versus projected manufacturing capacity do not add up.

In short, there are a lot of promises, some conflicting, and no proof. CitizenRe has publicly been asked a series of not-too-difficult questions about their business. The replies to-date do not confirm a valid business. As the old saying goes, if it looks to good to be true, it probably isn't true.

CitizenRe does an enormous disservice to the solar industry by promising what they apparently cannot deliver. The solar industry, just growing in many other states, needs customers. By diverting these potential customers to a product that probably cannot be delivered, CitizenRe is setting the entire industry back, as well as our goals for a clean and sustainable future.
