NRG Home Launches Partnership With Sharing Economy's Airbnb

NRG Home Solar and Airbnb announced a new affinity partnership to promote rooftop solar installation.

"Through the collaboration, the companies will provide incentives to existing and new members of the Airbnb community to further increase the savings from going solar, and travel credits to encourage individuals to experience this more environmentally sustainable method of travel," the companies said

Starting December 1, 2015 this program will be available in California and New York, with an intention to expand the offering to other states in the coming months.

Current Airbnb hosts who go solar with NRG Home Solar through this promotion will receive a rebate on their solar lease. The amount of the lease rebate will vary by location.

Homeowners who both go solar and become new Airbnb hosts will receive the lease rebate as well as a travel credit from Airbnb to experience the company’s home sharing service. If a current NRG Home Solar customer becomes an Airbnb host, they will also receive a travel credit from Airbnb to use on its platform.
