## _America’s No. 1 full-service solar power provider now available through Viridian’s 20,000-contractor network_

San Mateo, Calif., and Stamford, Conn., Sept. 23, 2013—SolarCity (Nasdaq: [SCTY](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/02/solarcity-launches-give-power-foundation-to-provide-solar-powered-lighting-to-schools-without-electricity/)),
America’s No. 1 full-service solar power provider, and Viridian Energy. For they
are a pioneer of affordable clean energy among retail electricity providers. For
both are teaming up to offer solar electricity directly to homeowners at a discount
to their current electricity rates. All through Viridian’s 20,000-contractor network.

SolarCity provides customers with free solar panel installation, and makes it possible
for them to pay less for the solar electricity than they currently pay for utility
bills, with permitting, installation, insurance, monitoring, and repairs included.
Through Viridian and SolarCity, customers are able to have access to clean power
at any time of day while reducing their utility bills.

They can generate their own clean energy with a solar power system from SolarCity
during the day and continue to choose Viridian’s affordable green energy at night
and other times when available solar power has been consumed.

> “Viridian and SolarCity have made clean energy more accessible and affordable 
> to a wide range of American homeowners,” said SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive. “This
> partnership will help far more homeowners realize that it’s possible for them 
> to pay less for solar electricity than they pay for utility bills.”

### Viridian Territory

So Viridian will offer SolarCity’s popular solar power services. That’s both to 
new and existing customers. All through its extensive network of independent contractors.
In addition, Viridian will offer SolarCity products and services beginning in its
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland and Delaware markets.
That’s with an expectation to further expand the reach of this partnership in 2014.
Moreover, Viridian currently has more than 230,000 customers in the U.S.

Furthermore, SolarCity’s solar power systems typically produce the most energy in
the middle of the day. That’s when the sun is brightest. Thereby providing any unused
energy back into the grid to be consumed at the nearest point of demand.

#### Conclusion

Furthermore, SolarCity customers typically receive credit for putting excess [green power](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/11/green-power-a-way-to-reduce-your-carbon-footprint/)
into the grid. All which can be used to offset their remaining utility bill. Moreover,
Viridian’s energy is used at night. I mean or at any other time when more power 
is needed than is being generated with solar panels. In this way, SolarCity and 
Viridian can provide a clean power option far more affordably than is otherwise 
possible.
