Admirals Bank Offers Solar Financing to Help Rebuild a Sustainable New York Community
Breezy Point, NY (PRWEB) December 19, 2013 -- Working with the Breezy Point Green Committee, EmPower Solar will add $200 to a Breezy Solar Bank for each resident of Breezy Point, Rockaway Point, and Roxbury, New York who goes solar. These funds will be used to help finance a solar project at one of their community buildings. The building will be chosen at a later date by the Green Committee. The Breezy Solar Bank initiative helps homeowners recognize the advantages of purchasing solar for their homes while simultaneously assisting their community. Each resident interested in learning more about going solar can register for a free site assessment from a trained EmPower representative to determine the necessary system size, design and possible installation requirements.
In addition, homeowners are encouraged to contact an Admirals Bank solar representative to learn more about the financing options available as well as the potential energy savings he or she may incur. By utilizing the Admirals Bank financing option, homeowners will experience all of the advantages of direct ownership and have the greatest opportunity to reap a return on their investment.
Admirals Bank financing options will simplify the purchasing of residential solar panels for the Breezy Point Community. Making the solar process easier incentivizes more homeowners to go solar, and for this initiative, the more homeowners that go solar, the more money EmPower will donate to the Breezy Solar Bank.
“Our goal is to make solar more attractive and affordable in the Breezy Point Community," said Ed Steins, Director of National Sales for Renewable Energy Lending at Admirals Bank "It is our pleasure to contribute to this momentous initiative and to be a financing resource for these communities.”
Admirals Bank’s non-equity based loan programs allow homeowners to apply for up to $40,000 for a residential solar system. The loan programs can also be used toward the purchase of additional energy efficiency products such as energy efficient windows and doors, water heating, ventilation, insulation, geothermal products, and more. If re-roofing is required prior to the solar panel installation, this cost can also be incorporated within the loan. Leasing programs do not currently offer these additional benefits.
“Breezy Point, Rockaway Point and Roxbury, New York, are ideal markets for a project like this," added Steins." In addition to the 30% federal tax credit, residents can also take advantage of various state and New York City solar incentives, making the purchase of a solar system very appealing.”
