The Heated Debate Over Citizenre

How an emerging company has created a storm of controversy in the world of solar energy.

The war of words has intensified in recent days over Citizenre, the new multi-level marketing business that promises to “revolutionize” the way Americans purchase their energy.

Skeptics say that Citizenre executives cannot possibly live up to many of their ambitious claims and will hurt the solar industry if consumers are deceived by false company promotions.


According to Citizenre CEO David Gregg, the company plans to bring 100 megawatts (MW) of PV manufacturing capacity online by September of this year; however, groundbreaking for the plant has not yet occurred. In addition, investors have not been identified, which has some wondering if the company has any money at all. Some have gone so far as to call the company a “scam.”

But executives and company supporters are encouraging the public to be patient. “This is a long term proposition for both the customer and associate and if they are willing to participate without any financial burden…then we are more than happy to deliver to them,” said Citizenre’s Gregg in an interview on RenewableEnergyAccess.com’s Inside Renewable Energy podcast.
