North Texas area homeowners can now powered by the sun as NRG and Reliant help make residential solar an affordable option for Texas homeowners. The customers can receive a lease price for at least 20 years and a $10/month credit. The solution also involves a Solar Sell Back plan for extra electricity to be sold back.
According to an announcement unveiled by NRG and Reliant, the solar installation will power the North Texas home directly with renewable energy, help to reduce carbon emissions, and deliver electricity back to the grid. The customer can pay for the solar installation with a fixed NRG Residential Solar Solutions lease price during the 20-plus years of the solar panels’ life and also receive a $10 per month credit to their NRG Residential Solar lease as long as they remain a Reliant customer. Since solar installations can generate more power than a home needs, Reliant also offers a Solar Sell Back plan which pays customers for electricity they produce above and beyond what their home uses.
“NRG and Reliant are excited to provide a practical, cost-effective solution for consumers in North Texas,” said Elizabeth Killinger, president of NRG Texas Retail and Reliant. “This is the first solution we are offering to Texans that gives them the freedom to generate their own clean energy and take advantage of incentives currently available that can provide cost savings of more than 30%.”
NRG is one of the largest providers of commercial and residential solar power in the United States. Highlights of NRG’s solar experience include: the world’s largest solar thermal plant, sustainable energy solutions at six professional football stadiums upon the completion of NRG Park, customizable solar canopies and solar panel-covered homes and parking covers.
