Sungevity and Sierra Club Join Forces to Accelerate Rooftop Solar in Northern California
5/24/2011
OAKLAND, Ca
“In order to end our dependence on dirty energy, we need as many Americans as possible to switch to clean energy like rooftop solar. This is a high priority for Sierra Club. We are urging all of our members and supporters in Northern California to work with Sungevity to find out if solar is right for them. Every home that goes solar gets us one step closer to our goal of a clean energy economy,” said Brune.
"The new Sungevity-Sierra Club is a win-win-win scenario," said Kennedy. "Sierra Club members benefit from the cost-savings of going solar, Sungevity builds on its network of energized customers and we all get a cleaner environment."
Beginning today, Sierra Club members can lease or purchase a Sungevity solar energy system through Sierraclub.org/solar.
"I strongly encourage all Sierra Club members to start the easy process by logging on to Sierraclub.org/solar for a quick, free iQuote," added Kennedy.
Sierra Club will use the activist tools it has honed over decades to ask consumers to switch to clean energy. Through house parties, phone banks and community organizing, the grassroots environmental group will encourage homeowners to go solar.
The partnership kicked off today at the Oakland home of Sierra Club member and Sungevity customer Dan Rademacher. Kennedy and Brune both discussed the environmental and financial benefits of residential solar leases from the rooftop of Rademacher’s home.
