The Solar Program announces partnership with SunPower to offer SunPower Direct in New York City

NEW YORK and SAN JOSE, Calif., March 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Solar Program, a New York founded Solar Marketing and Sales Company, and SunPower Corporation, the world's leader in solar technology, have partnered to offer a direct solar solution for New Yorkers.  This partnership creates a new way for New Yorkers to go solar. Homeowners can now take advantage by purchasing, financing, or leasing SunPower panels and deal directly with the manufacturer. This means from design, through permitting, and even install, SunPower will be part of the homeowner's experience.  SunPower's panels are not only the highest producing solar panels in the world, but have the industry's most comprehensive warranty.

"It makes perfect sense," said Keith Finkel, CEO of The Solar Program. "We have brought solar to more New Yorkers than anyone else. We have always offered customers the world's best panels, but now we can give them the world's best service." Traditionally, solar companies use sub-contractors to provide install services for their customers. With the new direct structure this is now a thing of the past. "Who better to oversee the design and install of your solar system than the company that manufactures and warranties your solar system?" Keith Finkel continued.

SunPower direct means New Yorkers can have the peace of mind that their solar system project is being facilitated by the company that manufactures them. The Solar Program will be the first point of contact for those looking to go solar. The Solar Program will qualify homes and educate homeowners on how solar works, the savings, and the benefits. The Solar Program has an extensive team of knowledgeable project coordinators; not only in solar technology, but available rebate and incentive programs.
