HOUSTON, Texas (Dec. 9, 2009) - Acro Energy Technologies Corp. (TSX Venture: ART), through its strategic alliance with SunRun, Inc., is offering California homeowners the opportunity to get a solar energy system installed through a new Zero Down Holiday Promotion. The promotion is valid for qualified homeowners now through Jan. 15, 2010, and for systems installed by Acro Energy under the SunRun Power Plan agreement.
Acro Energy is a leading U.S. solar integrator with headquarters in Houston and three offices in California. 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, 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.
"Acro Energy understands that many California homeowners want to lower their utility bills and help the environment by switching to solar power," commented Nat Kreamer, president of Acro Energy. "With this special holiday promotion and SunRun’s Power Plan, we are making it easy and affordable for thousands of Californians to start saving money on their electricity bills."
The Acro Energy Zero Down Holiday Promotion is an extension of Acro Energy’s strategic alliance with SunRun, announced in October 2009. 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 will allow Acro Energy to accelerate our mission of bringing solar to the middle-class. This promotion signals a shift in the marketplace as solar becomes a mainstream product in 2010." said Acro Energy chief executive officer Harry Fleming.
