Los Angeles based Sunuso is creating waves throughout the solar industry with the launch of their revolutionary website that guides homeowners through the complete process of buying a residential PV solar system and having it installed on their home. On May 11th, Sunuso, officially launched Sunuso.com, a simple, easy to use website that provides users with access to variety of wholesale priced residential solar systems then matches the homeowners with solar installers in their area.

"We guide homeowners by the hand throughout the entire process of not only buying, but also having a solar system installed. Our website allows users to simply input information such as their address and how much they spend a month on electricity and http://sunuso.com/ does the rest." remarked Sunuso chief of technology, James Heller.

Sunuso's revolutionary website application brings to light the advantage outright purchasing as opposed to leasing a residential solar system. The typical solicitation to a homeowner on a "no money down" solar lease usually sounds too good to pass up; get a residential PV solar system installed with absolutely zero upfront costs and begin to save on electricity immediately.

What these companies fail to disclose is that the customer's monthly lease payments will eat up the lion's share of the savings on electricity, therefore limiting the homeowner's actual savings.

As far as Federal tax credits and power company rebates, unless the homeowner actually owns the system, the homeowner will never see a dime from any rebate or Federal tax credit. The rebates and Federal tax credits go directly to the company that leased the system to the consumer since the system is actually owned by the solar leasing company.

The majority of solar companies offer solar leases for a 20-year term. It is without question no coincidence that is the time when the real returns start kicking in. Because the ROI (return on investment) in residential PV systems is so high, solar companies are more than happy to profit from the returns themselves and lease homeowners the solar panels.

A leased solar system will generate roughly $4,000 total savings over the 20 year lease term. In just about an 8 year period, an owned system will have paid for itself and will continue reaping the benefits of going solar. By the end of the 25 year warranty period of the solar panels, homeowners will have saved nearly $25,000 above and beyond the initial cost of system.

Sunuso.com allows homeowners to calculate their monthly power usage and recommends a system that would best fit their needs. Sunuso's easy to use website provides homeowners with exclusive direct access to wholesale priced solar systems. Sunuso.com users purchase their complete residential PV solar system directly from the manufacture. Sunuso then helps homeowners connect with qualified solar installers in their area.

Another extremely important factor that solar leasing companies fail to disclose is the value and marketability of a home with a leased PV solar system. When homeowners purchase their solar system outright, the value of their home increases. Market research proves that homes that have owned PV solar systems sell faster than those that don't.

However, those that have a leased solar system encounter more problems than benefits. With a leased PV solar system, instead of having a valuable asset, the homeowner's leased PV solar system is a liability that the new homeowners have to take on. Being encumbered by a lease will complicate the closing process at best, and at worst it could be a deal breaker.

Homeowners seeking take control of their utility costs without dealing with annoying salesmen need to go to http://sunuso.com/#hero and go solar.
