Real Goods Solar Launches 2011 FREE Home Solar Sweepstakes. No Purchase Necessary.
One homeowner from CA, CO, CT, MA, NJ, RI or VT, will win a solar electric system for their home (up to 4 kilowatts DC) valued up to $25,000.
BOULDER, Colo., July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Real Goods Solar announced today its FREE HOME SOLAR SWEEPSTAKES for a chance to win a 4kW home solar electric system valued up to $25,000. Qualifying homeowners can enter to win at http://www.RealGoodsSolar.com/Sweepstakes or call 1-888-56-SOLAR. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. The Sweepstakes expires at 6:00 pm PDT on September 30, 2011.
With the recent announcement of Real Goods Solar's merger with northeast renewable energy leader Alteris Renewables, for the first time homeowners from many northeastern states are now eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes.
2010 sweepstakes winners Juan and Virginia Vasquez of Rialto, CA installed a 4.1kW solar electric system expected to generate 5804 kilowatt hours of electricity annually, and offset approximately 75% of the family's electricity bill.
Based on average electricity usage, homeowners are likely to spend $100,000 on electricity bills over a 25 year period. The Sweepstakes brings attention to rising utility costs and renewable energy solutions to mitigate these increases. One lucky homeowner will have the ability to save thousands of dollars on electricity over the lifetime of their system.
John Schaeffer, Real Goods' President of Residential and Founder, commented: "During these hot summer days, our customers often complain about high electric bills due to summer air conditioning loads. What better way to lower utility bills than with solar? Our customers frequently see a return on investment of over 20% for a purchased solar system, or a low money down and lower monthly bills on a power plan purchase. We're happy to offer this sweepstakes to highlight the importance of converting to a solar economy!"
