Theme: “Step-by-Step Installation of Solar Energy Systems", EmeraldPlanet TV© Full Program Title: "Eliminate Power Bills; Solar Energy; Green Jobs; Protect the Environment" Show '3': Benjamin Colbert, Founder & CEO, City Renewables, Theme: “Step-by-Step Installation of Solar Energy Systems" Overview: City Renewables under the leadership of CEO Benjamin (Ben) Colbert is dedicated to eliminating homeowners' power bills. Not only is the company collaborating with the D.C. Department of Energy and Environment realizes the various benefits of using renewable energy, homeowners can actually earn income from selling the home's excess renewable power to the local utility company. The homeowners become a contributor to reducing greenhouse gasses (GHGs) emissions into the atmosphere while effectively helping to slow, perhaps even reverse, long-term climate change. City Renewables does all this based upon its absolute passion to install as many solar panels as possible within the District of Columbia to help District residents. The company and its CEO are recognized for helping area residents of various socio-economic backgrounds, regardless of their home's location within the District, to gain full access to the numerous benefits of installing solar power. Homeowners are assisted in taking advantage of the "Solar Renewable Energy Credits" (SRECs). These are considered the best in the United States. Such SRECs remain in high value at ~$400.00 per unit in the District due to the DOEE's aggressive initiatives in the most friendly renewable energy city in the country. There are three primary financial benefits which allow homeowners to generate new income from installing their solar panels. These are: 1) Eliminate electric bills for twenty-five [25] years; 2) Collect Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC); and 3) Cash in the SRECs versus buying the solar production system outright by taking full ownership from installation. Each option needs to be considered seriously with expert advice as to which situation is best for the homeowner. . City Renewables works closely with homeowners along with local community associations, communities of faith, homeowners associations, NGOs, and the various representatives of City Council to demonstrate how such homes go from a "cost center" to an "income center" earning a passive income stream. The typical city installation takes only five to six hours from home delivery of the panels to final clean-up of all debris with locally skilled installers leaving the premises. This process occurs once the solar energy system has been properly designed, fully discussed with the potential homeowner, best financial arrangements for the homeowner has been agreed upon, and all appropriate Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) requirements and submissions have been electronically entered by the installing company and approved. A final on-site inspection must be completed and registered so the homeowners can enjoy their zero [-0-] based electricity bills. EmeraldPlanet TV© is produced by Dr. Sam Hancock.
