Media Advisory: Solar Industry Progress and Customer Rebates Slowed by Paperwork Binds
Contortionists Outside National Solar Industry Event Physically Demonstrate the Convoluted Application Process for Rebates and Permits Currently Tying the Industry in Knots
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - October 15, 2008) -
Who/Where:
Contortionists outside the 2008 Solar Power International Conference at the
San Diego Convention Center are folding themselves in half to physically
represent and draw attention to the profoundly convoluted application
process for alternative energy solution rebates and permits.
What:
During a time when the environment and economy demand drastic decreases in
energy consumption, solar contractors and vendors are calling for support
to make solar simpler. Due to complicated and time-consuming paperwork,
installing solar panels and filing customer rebate forms have become
difficult and frustrating. On average, one solar job requires 70 pages of
paperwork. The first step in an effort to expedite and simplify the rebate
process is to reduce this paperwork burden on contractors and customers
through electronic signatures and document filing.
How:
If you'd like to help simplify the solar installation and rebate process,
please join Sungevity today in lobbying to make it easier to get people up
and running with solar panels. Please add your electronic signature to a
