Affordability-Focused Sustainable Energy

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Tesla Will Relaunch Its Rent Solar Program in Six States

— August 21, 2019 — Eco
Tesla has indicated that it will have a relaunch of its Rent solar initiative. The Rent Solar project allows customers, who are located in one of six states, to pay monthly for solar power.

Eligible states include Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New Mexico. Monthly payments are at a rate of $50 per month, except in California, where customers will be charged $65 dollars. The solar initiative will also be released in Europe next year, according to the company's CEO Elon Musk.

Solar rental programs would allow users to not have to pay a large initial cost to access sustainable energy. This would allow more people to access solar power and reduce their carbon footprint. However, Elon Musk notes that purchasing solar infrastructure is cheaper over the longer term, but rentals will allow greater access.
Trend Themes
1. Affordable Solar Rental - The Rent Solar initiative by Tesla offers affordable monthly payments for solar power, increasing access to sustainable energy.
2. Expansion of Rent Solar Program - Tesla's plan to launch the Rent Solar program in Europe next year shows the trend of expanding rental opportunities for sustainable energy globally.
3. Reducing Initial Cost Barrier - Solar rental programs like Tesla's Rent Solar remove the need for a large upfront payment, making sustainable energy more accessible to a wider audience.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - The affordable solar rental trend presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy industry.
2. Real Estate - The expansion of the Rent Solar program opens up new possibilities for integrating solar power into residential and commercial properties, revolutionizing the real estate industry.
3. Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure - The increasing availability of affordable solar rental options creates opportunities for integrating EV charging infrastructure with sustainable energy solutions.
