Financing program creates affordable way for residents to go solar

Murrieta, Calif. -- November 19, 2009 - HelioPower, a leading solar power design and installation firm since 2001, today announced that it is partnering with SunRun to bring affordable solar financing and service to its California residential customers. SunRun is the nation's #1 provider of home solar service. The company provides a smart, affordable alternative to traditional electricity. HelioPower, through its California offices, will offer SunRun to homeowners in the state.

"Our team is already moving homeowners to solar power through the HelioPower-offered SunRun financing plans," said Scott Gordon, Vice President, Residential Sales for HelioPower. "For as little as $1,000 out of pocket, our customers can lock in a low electricity rate for the next 18 years and save money every month. Imagine if you could have locked in your gasoline costs at $1 gallon or even $2 gallon? How much money you would be saving today? HelioPower's offering of SunRun empowers us to accomplish this kind of energy savings with your electricity costs. We are very pleased to be working with SunRun to offer our customers an affordable means to go solar."

SunRun purchases home solar systems designed and installed by HelioPower for its customers, who pay only a low one-time installation fee, and then a low fixed rate for the solar electricity produced by their system. All SunRun customers receive money-back annual performance guarantees in addition to professional-grade monitoring, maintenance, repairs, and insurance, which remove the complexity and risk from going solar.

"In a very short time, HelioPower has inspired customers to go solar with SunRun, said SunRun President Lynn Jurich. "Working with HelioPower, we look forward to helping even more California homeowners power their homes with clean energy and take control of their electricity costs."
