Access To Solar Moves Foward With One Block Off the Grid


SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today solar group-buying leader One Block Off the Grid (One Block, www.1bog.org) announces its single biggest market launch to-date with first-time group deals in Massachusetts, Maryland, and California's Central Valley, alongside returning group deals on solar in New Jersey and the Los Angeles Metro area.  Leveraging key manufacturing and installation partnerships, One Block is able to offer homeowners reliable, efficient solar systems and installation for 15 percent below market rate.

"We're thrilled to bring group deals on solar to so many homeowners, especially in states like Massachusetts where electricity is pricey and getting pricier," says One Block CEO and founder Dave Llorens.  "Our approach is to take the hassle out of going solar for everyone involved.  For homeowners, we find the panels, vet the contractors, and wrap it up in a nicely discounted package.  On the installer and manufacturer side, we offer access to a widely varying residential market that is often disjointed and difficult to reach.  Overall, we're helping green the country."

One Block Off the Grid negotiates group deals on big-ticket green items for homeowners, whether they're looking to save money or to help reduce their carbon footprint.  In addition to the group deal, One Block educates homeowners about solar and connects them with reputable solar installers.  Group deals typically last 90 days.

"Right now we're focused on markets where homeowners are paying a lot for electricity and where there are strong incentives for going solar," says Llorens.  "But we see room for bigger things, because increasingly going green is the new norm.  People are starting to understand the economic benefits of green choices more deeply in addition to the environmental and public safety benefits."

The group deals in Massachusetts, Los Angeles, and New Jersey also make available a new solar leasing option for homeowners, significantly reducing or eliminating the upfront cost of installing a solar system.

One Block Off the Grid is offering solar group deals in Maryland, Massachusetts, Long Island, and New Jersey, as well as the Philadelphia metro area, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Atlanta, and California's Central Valley.
