PowerLight Solar Energy
PowerLight Connectâ„¢ is an easy and affordable way for businesses and government to connect to the sun. This powerful new offering makes buying solar electricity as simple as buying power from your utility.
PowerLight offers its service to governments and businesses and claims to do so as easily as they might by the electricity that comes default with your light switch. They claim that there is no equipment to buy, no maintenance costs, and the electricity they supply you is simply billed on a monthly (and fixed!) rate.
Here’s how it works, according to their website:
- We pay for and deploy your new solar power system
- You host it on your roof, ground or parking facility
- You buy the solar electricity produced at a fixed rate – for 10 years or more
- Your organization benefits from clean solar power, while demonstrating environmental leadership
This sounds amazing! If only it were available on a residential basis…

In fact, I think California alone, without the rest of the states, is something like the 11th largest economy in the world. Pretty impressive for 1/50th of the US.

I found it by searching for Pennsylvania Alternative Energy and they had an ad on Google, so I’m guessing that it’s either US-wide now or soon will be.
I think the reference to California was just a side note about that…and California is often the leader in driving various industry policies across the US, particularly on an environmental level.

How fantastic!!! I really hope the business model works so successfully in CA that they deploy more in other states. I’m sure it would create a lot of excitement and demand in Portland.
