How can I get green power for my home?

Question

I cannot afford solar panels, I am looking to switch to a green power company. Is it true that if I ask for green power my power company has to offer it?

I live in maine and my power company is CMP.

Answer 1

Maine not have green power company. But in place like New York or Texas Austin have this

Answer 2

if you live in NC you can have methane to power your home

Answer 3

I tried looking for the same thing a while ago without much luck.  However, there is an alternative:

Companies are emerging that will allow you to lease solar panels for your house.  They determine the cost by taking the average of what you normally would pay to an electric company.

Just Google "rent solar panel" and you can take a look among several companies that lease solar panels.

Sorry, I wish I could give you a recommendation, but at present I rent an apartment and do not have this option.  Good luck, though!

Answer 4

You can't, at any reasonable cost.  Some power companies offer "green power" at premium rates; I can think of no good reason to spend the extra money.
