Homeowners Have the 'Power' to Control Rising Energy Costs!

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Think installing solar panels onto your home is an upfront cost out of your reach?  American Vision® Solar is helping homeowners across the country see solar energy in a new light, and learn that taking advantage of solar power is affordable, and provides an incredible return on investment.  Thanks to the company's new Power Purchase Agreement, anyone who qualifies can start saving on monthly utility bills immediately, with little to no money down.

Homeowners now have the 'power' to choose to whom they pay their monthly electric bill, and how much they pay each month.  It's what American Vision is calling 'Solar as service,' and it's through the company's new Power Purchase Agreement where qualifying customers get the benefits of solar with virtually no investment and avoid the expense of purchasing a system outright.  Customers can finance solar panel installation by simply paying a monthly payment – a monthly cost that is guaranteed to be LESS than a Southern California Edison bill without solar.  Over a year period, this monthly savings can equate to more than $1,100 back in your pocket (on average).  In fact, over a period of 20 years, the solar panels boast a 469% rate of return on investment!

"Numbers don't lie, and we're thrilled to be able to make the up-front costs of solar panel installation more affordable to our customers," says company President Al Alferi.  "In this economy, every dollar counts, and with the immediate monthly savings our Power Purchase Agreement offers, homeowners can reap all of the cost benefits of solar power with no initial investment."

American Vision prides itself on being on the leading edge in customer service, which is why the company didn't rush into just any financing option for its customers in the past.  "The new Power Purchase Agreement had to be in the very best interest of our customers," added Alferi.  "Other financing contracts out there include stipulations that we didn't agree with.  For example, under some contracts, major restrictions come into play should the homeowner wish to sell the home and transfer the system.  We couldn't in right mind suggest our customers get locked into an agreement like that.  Now, we can stand proudly behind the new American Vision Power Purchase Agreement, and every bit of the fine print in back of it."

Benefits to having 'Solar as service' run deeper than just cost savings.  The American Vision Power Purchase Agreement provides customers with 20 years of pro-active monitoring, included maintenance and repair, production guarantee, included inverter replacement and full-system insurance.  And, let's not forget the benefit of owning an eco-friendly home, and being a friend to the environment by taking advantage of the sun's brilliant resource.

Husband and wife team Bill and Kathleen Herren began providing homeowners with energy-efficient solutions with their window sales and installation company, American Vision Windows.  Now, more than ten years and 30,000 satisfied customers later, the company has expanded its unmatched service to its other brands that will help revolutionize the home improvement industry: American Vision Solar and American Vision Garages.
