SolarWorld Americas Inc.: Financial Solutions for Installers and Customers
Die untenstehende Meldung ist eine Original-Meldung des Unternehmens. Sie ist nicht von der ECOreporter.de-Redaktion bearbeitet. Die presserechtliche Verantwortlichkeit liegt bei dem meldenden Unternehmen.
SolarWorld Americas, the sales and marketing arm of the largest and most experienced U.S. solar electric panel manufacturer, today unveiled a pioneering suite of no-money-down financing options that the company's authorized installers and their customers can seize to speed their solar projects over initial cost hurdles and onto economic and environmental savings.
The SolarWorld Financial Solutions program delivers financing options from outside financial-service partners to empower the company's authorized installers to further differentiate their businesses and close more sales. With SolarWorld, customers of those installers now can tap not only high-performance crystalline silicon solar panels but also those financing solutions that work best for them in immediately capturing power from the sun without staking significant upfront system costs.
Initial offerings enable residential customers to lease Sunkits solar systems or defer payment until state and federal incentives can be realized. Commercial customers and not-for-profit organizations can select among various leases or a power purchase agreement (PPA). Under a PPA, a third party finances a solar system for a property owner; in turn, the property owner pays the financier for the system's power at a discounted rate. The residential lease is currently available only in select Western states. SolarWorld Financial Solutions will continue to explore new financing options into the future.
"This portfolio provides a broad range of options for a variety of customers to ease financial access to solar projects," says Kevin Kilkelly, president of SolarWorld Americas. "The advance in ready-made financing versatility leads American markets in addressing solar's upfront costs - the only ones that matter in a technology requiring no fuel, moving parts, maintenance, emissions or labor to operate. The upsides to the pocketbook and planet alike begin accruing immediately."
"We've been a loyal partner of SolarWorld's technology for years," says Jose Luis Contreras, president and co-founder of Solar Energy Inc. of San Diego. "Its new financing portfolio, combined with leads we receive from the company's aggressive marketing, will further the distance we can put between ourselves and competitors who sell solar products that come with little, if any, manufacturer support. Our customers will recognize the value proposition, and we are sure to land more sales."
