In an industry leading move, REPOWER by Solar Universe will now include complementary smart home components with installation bundled into every new solar system purchased company-wide.

"This move has been a long time coming and we could not resist the chance to once again take a leadership position in our industry," said Joe Bono, REPOWER by Solar Universe CEO and founder. "For the last eight years, Solar Universe has served us well, but the natural combination of two important categories, solar and smart home technology, will now enable us to create an even better consumer experience."
