Ever wondered what the PosiGen solar program is all about? Simply put, the company aims to provide solar power for all. According to PosiGen's CEO, the company is focusing majorly on providing affordable and easy to access services to low or moderate-income communities. By rolling out a solar leasing program, the company hopes to make solar more affordable for these communities. This opportunity avails people within these communities to invest in their homes, save money on their utility bills, and take steps toward a better tomorrow. 

 

The PosiGen CEO and Where it all Started 

The story behind the inception of PosiGen is truly one of a kind. The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina's devastation left the inhabitants of New Orleans seeking to rebuild more efficient and affordable homes. At the time, there were 16 various programs available to help residents rebuild stronger, but in fact, these initiatives were primarily available to the wealthy. Unfortunately, the low and moderate-income families who make up quite a bit of the New Orleans population could not access these facilities. The fact that they were unable to access these facilities for home improvement put them at a disadvantage even more than wealthy families.

The founding members noticed this gap and decided to provide a solution to the problem. The goal was to help disadvantaged people to rebuild their homes and lives, says PosiGen's CEO. To make this a reality, they decided that they could bring solar to lower-income communities by selling it in a fundamentally different way than anyone else: they base their sales on savings. "We don't need to make every dollar," the CEO often says, "but we must save our customers every dollar." 

The PosiGen CEO's approach quickly proved that it could work; individuals were eager to invest in solar since it improved their lives. The company swiftly expanded, and they now install thousands of solar systems each year, delivering solar (and savings) to households all around the United States.

Building on their strong history, PosiGen's CEO has made confident statements stating that the solar program they run is unique and that there is no service quite like theirs in the market. Hearing that there's no credit score or minimum income requirement, and it includes energy efficiency upgrades, insurance, maintenance, & monitoring, often gets customers excited but at the same time cautious. It is easy to see why Homeowners might be cautious; making home improvements can be a daunting task, and finding the right partner to help can be tricky. A couple of facts about PosiGen would give insights into what goes on behind the company's solar program. 

Efficiency is a Necessity 

Those who share in the vision and mission of PosiGen strongly believe that everyone deserves to live in a warm home that can be heated affordably. Access to solar energy should be accessible to the people who need it the most, and the company mission has been to bring solar to all, says the Posigen CEO

The average home has invisible leaks that account for huge losses of energy. Individually, these leaks might seem negligible, but these leaks make heating and cooling unnecessarily expensive when combined. The PosiGen Audit includes a thorough analysis of key points of energy loss and air leaks. The analysis helps the experts make the exact improvements needed to provide the greatest energy savings for your home.

Solar Panels Add Value

At the time of this article, roughly 16,000 homeowners across the US are saving money by using the PosiGen leasing program. Most of the customers who use the leasing program also have solar panels installed on their roofs. To make the process of purchasing, installing, and maintaining solar panels easier, PosiGen has created a simple and easily accessible solution. Solar panels can be gained by financing with a number of different flexible options, in addition to saving their users a lot of money. Solar panels are just as effective in driving the prices of homes all the way up. 

PosiGen Leasing Program

The leasing program is an effective solution that allows the company to reach out to each and every potential customer. The Leaning program is rather straightforward. Every potential customer of PosiGen will need to allow the company's engineer to run a pre-feasibility analysis on their home. The tests will naturally consider essential factors like the home's irradiance (which is specifically targeted at the proportion of the sun versus the shade in terms of exposure.) and home layout. These numbers are then compared with the pre-feasibility tests to confirm that there is actually a real possibility for a customer to save more money than they would have using traditional utility services. 

The PosiGen CEO's Flexible Financial Situations

The special considerations made for customers also consider possible financial solutions for any payment problems customers may have. Some of these financial solutions include Fixed Monthly Payments, Minimum Savings Guarantees, Productions Guarantee for equipment, and a few other concessions that have been made to accommodate customers. Where Potential Customers' homes are not found to save more by benefiting from the PosiGen Solar solutions because their current bills are too low, the company will inform such customers. The company is also extremely focused on ensuring that all of its customers save as much as they can. The PosiGen leasing model allows current owners of solar panels to transfer the lease and the fixed cost payments to the next owner. This is a wonderful way of ensuring that your PosiGen solar installation is worth every penny spent. 

The same good intentions that inspired the company leadership have been incorporated into the service process for customers because the company's goals are aligned with the need of low-to-middle-income customers. The entire service process from start to finish is designed to ensure all customers can save with solar. Solar energy is a long time goal not just for Posigen but for the entire world. The practices that the company has adopted into its business model may take time. Still, the truth remains that the results of these efforts will be enjoyed by customers, the organization, and the community for years to come.
