Sierra Club Partners with Sungevity to Help Families Go Solar

The Sierra Club, the nation's largest environmental organization, last week announced a new partnership with Sungevity, one of the country's leading residential solar providers, to help families go solar easily and affordably.

The new program will help consumers save money on electricity bills, reduce pollution and support the Sierra Club's overall environmental mission, all at the same time. Through the partnership, each time someone takes advantage of Sungevity's "Zero Down" solar roofing program, that person will receive a $750 cash gift card and Sungevity will contribute $750 to the Sierra Club.

If you live in any of the states Sungevity services—Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, or New York— you can create a win-win-win situation as a new residential solar customer by visiting www.sierraclub.org/gosolar.
