energy without the upfront cost of panels, and Verde Energy, a
source for competing offers from a network of experienced renewable

Verde Pros to offer the Helio Green Energy Plan to homeowners
to generate green electricity with no upfront cost for panels.

are pleased to work with Verde Energy, the top photovoltaic lead-generation
engine for both commercial and residential solar across the U.S.,"

reflects our shared vision of increased green energy production
in America starting right now."

answer for our customers,"said Rob Powell, Chief Executive
