SunEdison launches the new SunEdison Energy Saver Plan, a way for UK homeowners to potentially save up to 15% on their electricity bill with zero upfront cost. SunEdison is the first company in the UK to offer this type of solar product to the residential market, and is unveiling the new solution at EcoBuild, the UK's leading sustainable design, construction and energy event for domestic buildings, taking place in London from March 3rd to 5th.
With the Plan, customers that sign up for the new Energy Saver Plan can save up to 15% on their energy bill in the first year, and these savings will be realized immediately. Homeowners will need to provide SunEdison access to their roof and SunEdison will take care of the rest, including the installation, maintenance and insurance of the system. SunEdison stands behind each system with a performance guarantee for the duration of the contract – giving customers peace of mind.
Signing up for the SunEdison Energy Saver Plan offers consumers affordable and predictable solar electricity rates for 20 years with a fixed annual increase of 3.5%, which is below the average 8% annual increase of UK Electricity prices over the last 10 years. The customers can be benefitted from UK Government incentives (Feed-in Tariffs) as well.
Homeowners can accelerate their potential savings by shifting their energy use to coincide with peak solar hours, which can be accomplished by using high energy appliances like washing machines and tumble driers during the daytime.
Mark Babcock, Vice President of SunEdison Residential and Small Commercial Europe, said of the launch of the residential solution: "The new SunEdison Energy Saver Plan represents a step-change that revolutionizes access to solar for UK homeowners. To simplify the process of going solar, we've removed the biggest barrier – the upfront purchase cost. This means that from day one, customers can save money. We anticipate high demand for this no cost way to save money immediately. We believe everyone should have access to solar energy and we are paving the way for this to happen."
SunEdison will commercialize and install its new solution through a network of professional partners that have been certified after taking a comprehensive training course that provides the highest quality standards.
