Airbnb and Solar - A New Deal For Homeowners

Do you own a home that you offer for rent on Airbnb? If so, they are making a pretty sweet offer for you to take advantage of. As a company who wants to stay on the cutting edge of all things worthwhile, Airbnb has partnered with a large solar company to encourage homeowners to make the switch to clean energy. This deal is offered nearly everywhere in the country, and if it hasn’t reached you yet, it probably will before long. Here’s the incentive - are you ready?

If you install solar panels onto your roof and continue to utilize Airbnb to rent your home out, you will receive a check for $1,000 about 4 to 6 weeks after the install. Additionally, you will receive a $100 credit on your Airbnb account. While this certainly won’t pay for the install in its entirety, it’s yet another way of sweetening the pot and enticing consumers to think about the difference they could make.

You have until March of 2017 to make the switch, and after that they will pay $750 through the end of 2017. This promotion might not be shocking for some when they consider the cost of installing a full set of panels can be well into the five figure range. However, these types of deals illustrate the shift in mindset across the country when it comes to renewable energy.

Imagine what it will be like in the future when solar panels come pre-installed on every new home, and businesses across the country utilize clean energy to operate their shops. It’s this kind of change that’s truly needed to reduce our carbon footprint and begin to undo the damage that’s been done to our environment. Homeowners like yourselves will have even more pride in ownership, knowing that you are making a difference.
