Solar Power Cheaper than Utilities for First Time in Northeast - RenewableEnergyWorld.com - 21 Apr 09
"Alteris Renewables and SunRun announced a breakthrough program today for powering Massachusetts homes with clean, renewable solar energy. Through its partnership with SunRun, Alteris Renewables is turning home solar into a monthly service, like cable or any other utility.
With this new program, upfront costs plummet from $30,000 to as little as $1,000 for customers to be able to install solar electric systems on their homes. Customers will enjoy savings from day one with locked-in rates for the next 18 years - a valuable protection from future electric rate increases."
"Electricity rates in Massachusetts have nearly doubled over the last 20 years. If these trends continue, a typical customer could recover their upfront payment in as little as 2 years and see an after-tax return on their investment of as much as 60% or more."
