Solar street lights and other street light solutions using advanced solar technology

The future green home power system should include these: efficient heating, cooling and solar lighting; water heating; and duct and building envelope sealing. SolarCity has acquired the assets of Building Solutions, a leading energy efficiency services and technology provider.

"We've been in the business of enabling customers to save money by generating clean energy, and now we can help customers save more money by using less energy," said Peter Rive, co-founder and chief operating officer of SolarCity. "Our new services will help customers reduce their total energy bills by addressing natural gas usage as well as electricity."

SolarCity is introducing energy efficiency services at a time when national enthusiasm for energy-saving measures is increasing. As the solar street lights are using more and more widely, the U.S. House of Representatives last week voted to approve the Home Star Energy Retrofit Act, better known as "cash for caulkers," which would extend $5.7 billion in rebates to U.S. homeowners that invest in energy efficiency improvements. Fifteen U.S. states have passed legislation to enable Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing to make energy efficiency projects more affordable.

The addition of energy efficiency will allow SolarCity to build on its strengths in financing, energy monitoring and customer service to provide additional ways for homeowners to save money by addressing a broader set of their energy needs. When the integration is complete, SolarCity expects to be able to complete hundreds of energy efficiency projects each month, representing the largest capacity for energy efficiency services in the U.S.

"Building Solutions has built the most advanced set of software tools for assessing energy efficiency return-on-investment that we've seen," added Rive. "This integrated software platform, combined with the momentum from emerging financing mechanisms like PACE, will enable us to make energy efficiency services far more affordable and accessible." Both SolarCity and Building Solutions have developed extensive software portfolios to support their service offerings.

We have always been trying to figure out the design of future building. But it’s not easy, now we have made the break through. Homeowners will benefits from these projects.
