AstroPower, Inc., a manufacturer of solar electric power systems for homes and small businesses, has announced an agreement with The Home Depot to sell the systems in a pilot program aimed at moving solar electric power technology into the mainstream market.

The Home Depot agreement is a key element of a broad AstroPower initiative. Under the agreement, the sales will begin in San Diego.

AstroPower’s SunUPS and SunLine solar electric home power systems are featured at The Home Depot’s Escondido, Carmel Mountain, and Sports Arena stores. Customers visiting these stores can learn about AstroPower systems through interactive displays on generating electricity with clean home solar electric power systems.

Home Depot will sell and install the systems under its “Installed Products” initiative, a full service program that provides product sales, financing, installation, and service. The Home Depot offers consumers two financing options.

Howard Wenger, AstroPower’s vice president, premium power business, said his company is excited to be working with The Home Depot to bring solar electric power to the mainstream consumer market.

“Our pilot program with The Home Depot makes getting solar power easy in an area that has been hit hard by electricity rate increases. Now, San Diego residents can take direct control of their energy future,” Wenger said.

AstroPower’s SunUPS and SunLine solar electric home power systems are complete packaged systems that enable homeowners and small business operators to produce their own clean electricity. Installed by AstroPower’s fully trained and licensed installer network, these systems produce electricity without any fuel, moving parts, noise, or emissions.

Both the SunUPS and SunLine systems operate in with the utility grid, feeding power to appliances in the home and back into the utility grid when the system produces more electricity than the home requires. Homeowners can watch their utility meter spin backward as they drive their utility bill toward zero.

In addition, AstroPower’s SunUPS systems include batteries to provide uninterrupted power 24 hours a day, even during utility outages.
