AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Uni-Solar, the world leader in thin-film solar technologies, announced today that it is offering its UNI-SOLAR(R) SmartRoof(R) residential solar electric system to homeowners. The SmartRoof system can generate 50 to 90 percent of a typical household's daily electrical needs, thus enabling homeowners to save money on their utility bills and in the process do something exceptional for the environment.
In the
last month, orders for 16 new UNI-SOLAR SmartRoof solar electric systems have
been received from the San Diego test market region. Benefits of the system include enhanced
aesthetics when compared to traditional rooftop-mounted solar systems, ease of
installation, lower maintenance, enhanced resale and full integration into a
home's roof. It also contains everything
homeowners need to generate their own clean, reliable power. One San Diego resident noted, "What I
was looking for was a building-integrated solar system that would not distract
from the beauty of my home the way traditional glass solar panels do and what I
found was a SmartRoof solar electric system that was truly building integrated
that actually added to the value of my home."
Mark
Holohan, Uni-Solar's residential sales manager, stated, "Customers are
looking for solar energy solutions that are maintenance-free and don't
compromise the look of their home; they are no longer willing to put up with obtrusive
and bulky glass panels sitting on top of their roofs." He added, "Uni-Solar has a unique solar
sales team. We work closely with our
customers to ensure that they understand their home's energy consumption and
receive the optimal result from their solar roof. We are not just selling a solar electric
product; we are selling integrated energy solutions. The feedback we have received from the
homeowners has been extremely positive."
The environmentally
friendly SmartRoof residential solar energy system generates clean,
non-polluting solar power that allows homeowners to reduce or eliminate their
electric bills while adding value to their homes.
Based
on the success of the market test in the San Diego area, Uni-Solar now makes
its SmartRoof system available in California and in the coming months
throughout the United States and Europe.
For a limited time, a FREE energy evaluation is being offered to California
residents.
