Solar city, the largest provider of residential solar in California, is now also the first provider to offer Home energy efficiency improvements. It is a step that should alleviate SolarCitys bottom line, as well as of its customers.
As a part of the solar city's Home TuneUp option can sol lease customers choose a detailed Home efficiency evaluation and a package of energy-saving Home improvements. In the application's distribution period (about two months), solar city will offer minor improvements--including duct leakage fixes, programmable thermostats, energy efficient light-free of charge.Simple improvements have been made on the same day as the solar installation and home efficiency evaluation, but major upgrades (e.g. a new HVAC system) happens later. solar city levied for parts.
"A lot of these upgrades will have to happen anyway," explains solar city CEO Lyndon Rive."We end up replacing things when they break, and it is often a time of serious discomfort. for example, HVAC systems have a certain life cycle, and they break when it is really cold or really hot.We explain this customers. "
Home tuneup is currently only available in California, but solar city plans turn to other markets in the coming months. 'There are solar companies that outsource kind of thing, ' says tear. "We only send more people. "
