Acro Energy Extends Zero Down Promotion with SunRun For California Homeowners Who Want to Go Solar in 2010 Based on Positive Response
HOUSTON, Texas (Jan. 18, 2010) – Acro Energy Technologies Corp. (TSX Venture: ART), through its strategic alliance with SunRun, Inc., has extended its Zero Down Solar Promotion for California homeowners through Feb. 15, 2010, due to overwhelming positive response.
This special offer allows qualified California residents to get a solar energy system installed by Acro Energy under the SunRun Power Plan agreement without putting any money down and after an Acro Energy rebate. In addition to the SunRun Power Plan, Acro Energy is offering a $1,000 rebate for customers who choose to buy a solar system directly from Acro Energy once installation is completed.
Acro Energy is a leading U.S. solar integrator, with operations across California and headquarters in Houston, Texas. SunRun is the nation’s leading provider of home solar financing. Acro Energy and SunRun work together to install solar systems and offer solar electricity service agreements to residential customers. Acro Energy sells solar electricity facilities to SunRun as a preferred solar system integrator. With SunRun’s unique power purchase agreements and leases, homeowners typically pay a small one-time system installation fee and then lock in a lower monthly bill to have solar energy power their homes.
“With energy prices continuing to rise in California, we are extremely excited to continue offering homeowners solar for no money down,” said Nat Kreamer, president of Acro Energy. “With our Zero Down Solar offer and SunRun, we are making it easy and affordable for thousands of Californians to start saving money on their electric bills immediately and for decades to come.”“With energy prices continuing to rise in California, we are extremely excited to continue offering homeowners solar for no money down,” said Nat Kreamer, president of Acro Energy. “With our Zero Down Solar offer and SunRun, we are making it easy and affordable for thousands of Californians to start saving money on their electric bills immediately and for decades to come.”

The alliance allows Californians to enter into power purchase agreements with SunRun for solar systems installed by Acro Energy. Through SunRun’s power purchase agreements, California homeowners receive monitoring, repairs, insurance and a performance guarantee for solar systems, providing simplicity and peace of mind when switching to solar power.
"Our relationship with SunRun allows Acro Energy to accelerate our mission of making solar systems affordable for middle-class homeowners. By continuing this Zero Down Solar Promotion, we are doing our part to help more homeowners reap the economic and environmental benefits that solar power offers,” said Acro Energy Chief Executive Officer Harry Fleming.
