Citizenre signs development agreement
SAN DIEGO, CA–(Marketwire - February 9, 2011) – The Citizenrē Corporation today announced that it has received and executed a funding commitment with Adam Capital, a private investment fund based in Sonoma, CA. Adam Capital has agreed to provide Citizenrē with an initial $20 million in funds, and subsequent funding rounds, over the next 18 months to fund Citizenrē’s goal to install 15 megawatts (MW) in residential solar photovoltaics (PV) systems.
Citizenrē has been providing homeowners the use of solar electric systems with immediate savings and no out-of-pocket costs throughout California since late 2009. This new agreement with Adam Capital will enable Citizenrē to expand in California and enter other favorable markets throughout the U.S.
“Our expanding relationship with Adam Capital will now help Citizenrē to grow as fast as our markets allow,” said President and CEO David C. Gregg. “Our proprietary business methods and IT systems create a new degree of efficiency in high-volume, high-speed installation. Proven over the past year, this approach enables us to dramatically lower our costs and to expedite delivery. We look forward to putting clean, renewable energy on thousands of additional homes in the next year.”
When the company launched back in 2006, Citizenrē introduced a solar rental product that was a game changer and breakthrough for residential PV. The company’s vision of “PV for all” captivated over 37,000 customers in two+ years. During the intervening recession, the drop in PV component prices has enabled Citizenrē to deliver on its commitment — bring affordable PV to average homeowners.
Adam Boucher, CEO of Adam Capital Inc, has been impressed by Citizenrē’s fortitude. “Working with Citizenrē over the last years, we have seen David and his team really dig in and deliver on their commitments. From our view, the team, IT and systems approach give them a significant advantage over the competition. When you combine those strengths with the massive solar-incentive economy, we are pleased to align with Citizenrē,” said Boucher.

Roof Top Revolution
Alternative energy is moving in the right direction to meet the demand of our increase consumtion of our energy and natural resources but, what effect will it have on homeowners who can not afford it. As the price of natural gas rises in cost, so does the cost of electricity generation. We are all overlooking an important issue here, what can we do as individuals to have an effect on the global energy problem we face today.
The answer is Make Solar Power Affordable to the masses which will start the first roof top revolution in America. I recently ran across a company that has removed the tradition cost to Solar Power. They do it with a rental agreement and with an electric rate locked in at or below what you are paying to your electric provider now. They provide a worryfree system, they install it, and maintain it without any addition fee. Imagine every home producing their own electric Solar power on their roofs, it’s like owning your own private power company without going broke. Now the average homeowner in America can take the power back and take action as a collective force with solar power. Think of it, all the energy savings that it would have all across this country, not including the money saved for the homeowner and the CO2 emissions on the environment.
