The initial cost of installing solar power can make the technology prohibitive for some, so it’s very exciting to see what US corporation Citizenrē is doing for those who would like to install solar panels on their homes, but can’t afford the big outlay. The REnU 25-year fixed rate residential solar electric system rental program is the first to allow homeowners in forty US states to choose green energy while eliminating the large upfront investment costs and premiums over power purchased from electric utilities. The REnU program appears to offer the most attractive terms in the solar industry in the US.
Citizenrē manufactures, pays for, installs, permits, owns, maintains, and operates the solar photovoltaic system installation. All homeowners are required to do is to pay for the electricity generated from these panels, at a fixed rate that is at or below their current electricity price, for up to twenty-five years.
Michael Richard, treehugger.com editor, tells the world which are the greatest, greenest inventions ever. From The Independent:
THE ECO KETTLE
It is estimated that, on average, we boil twice the volume of water needed every time we use our kettles. With a 3kW kettle that’s the same as wasting the energy of around 50 light bulbs. And standard kettles are often highly inefficient – a stove-top kettle, for instance, requires energy to heat the handle and shell in addition to the water. But British designer Brian Hartley’s Eco Kettle solves these problems at a stroke. You fill it up, and then use the measuring button to release the exact amount of water you require – from a single cup to a full jug – into a separate chamber for boiling. It is also insulated to keep the water hot. The result is an energy saving of up to 30 per cent.
