San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2008 -- Renewzle (http://www.renewzle.com) is a new web-based application offering the industry's most comprehensive and user-friendly way to evaluate the cost and benefits of residential solar energy systems. The dizzying array of solar incentives, tax credits, and complex electric utility pricing structures has made understanding the financial benefits of solar a daunting task for consumers. Renewzle removes much of the mystery and complication from the process.

The Renewzle tool also utilizes a competitive bidding model that has never before been offered in the solar industry. It offers shoppers the ability to request quotes from multiple installers through blind bidding on projects defined during consumer exploration, and select a winning retailer.

Founder David R. Anderson explains: "We saw a real information gap in the marketplace surrounding consumer knowledge about pricing and value of solar: most current services take personal consumer information up front, and recommend installers with little or no transparency. Renewzle's unique competitive bidding process directly addresses that problem, allowing consumers to make an informed choice by comparing prices and other information about installers. We believe this benefits both consumers and the solar industry."

Renewzle offers a complete path for the consumer from initial investigation to purchase. It provides:

* A wide range of simply-organized background information about solar energy;

* A comprehensive financial analysis tailored to the user's own home, and;

* A competitive quote bidding process to ensure fairness.

According to the California Energy Commission, more than 5,000 new residential solar energy systems are being installed annually in California, and the pace continues to increase.

VP of Product Development Brad Smith brings years of experience as a solar installer to the project. "We feel strongly that solar has turned the corner from a niche product to a mainstream one. Solar helps to address the rising cost of utility power, dependence on non-renewable energy sources, and global climate change," he says. "Renewzle provides the decision-making assurance needed to help the solar market continue its tremendous growth. Very simply, Renewzle takes the guesswork out of the process, and provides potential buyers the confidence to make an informed choice."

By maximizing the ease of use and quality of information presented, Renewzle is expected to make a major contribution to the continuing acceleration of the California solar market. Although it will initially focus on the California residential solar (PV) market, Renewzle plans to add additional states in the coming months.

Officers are available for all press inquiries.
