SolarCity announced that it is expanding its service and operations to Austin, Texas
SolarCity said that customers in Austin can go solar for as little as $50 per month, with design, installation, financing, and monitoring included.
The expansion is due in part to SolarCity's solar loan program, launched earlier this summer (see story here)
SolarCity provides service to customers of Austin Energy, and also serves customers in the greater Austin area that are open to choice through a partnership with retail electricity provider MP2 Energy. The unique partnership with MP2 (see story here) allows SolarCity customers that use MP2 as their retail electricity provider to receive retail credit against future electricity use for any solar electricity they provide back to the utility grid during the day.
