    Sungevity.com - Solar Panels Get the Web 2.0 Treatment

    With Earth Day around the corner, many people are thinking about how they can clean up their carbon footprint and make the Earth a little bit greener. One way to go about being green is solar power.

    Sungevity aims to help make solar installation an easy experience. In fact, it can all be done with a few clicks of you mouse. The Berkeley based company only covers California at the moment. To get started, enter your address into the website and you’ll get a satellite image of your house. Sungevity will help you calculate the dimensions of your roof, allowing you to choose the appropriately sized panels. They’ll also help you calculate your financial returns as well as the environmental benefits. You’ll get a quote within 24 hours after submitting your address. An array system starts at $7,000—you can choose to pay it all up front or in installments. A $1,000 deposit is required. The panels are guaranteed for 10 years, with the inverters and panels insured for 10 and 25 years. The company claims it will be able to offer fully installed systems for 10% less than the competition, given that installers need only to make one visit, with your computer doing the rest of the work.

    Sungevity.com In their own words

    “Sungevity is the one place you can learn about and buy a solar electric system all online! Our solar electric system options start at $7,000 fully installed.”
