Sungevity a provider of residential solar installations, today announced the launch of Sungevity.org as an innovative way to help schools and non-profit organizations raise money while getting more homeowners to put solar on their rooftops.
Organizations can raise $1000 by bringing Sungevity new solar customers. For every customer that a participating non-profit or school sends Sungevity’s way, the company donates $500 to the school or non-profit and gives the customer a $500 American Express gift card (or the organization can opt to collect the full $1000).
“Our online solar leasing system is designed to make it simple for homeowners to go solar,” said Danny Kennedy, Sungevity Founder. “Like our dot.com site, the .org program now makes it easy for non-profits and schools to raise funds while getting their local communities to go solar. We are continuing to bring sunshine online with Sungevity’s innovative, first-of-its-kind partnership that goes well beyond the bake sale.”
To kick off Sungevity.org, the company is starting a partnership with the Westside Waldorf School in Pacific Palisades (Los Angeles) where Helen Hunt and Ed Begley, Jr. are hosting an event tonight at the school. Ms. Hunt is a Sungevity customer herself, having recently had a 7kW system installed on her home that is estimated to save her more than $200 per month on her electric bill.
