Carrier and SolarCity Team to Bring Innovative, Cost-Effective and Efficient
Energy Solutions to Homeowners
INDIANAPOLIS, May 5, 2014 – Carrier, the world’s leader in high-technology heating, airconditioning
and refrigeration solutions, has teamed up with SolarCity, America’s largest fullservice
solar power provider, to offer a unique solution that can significantly reduce a
homeowner’s energy costs. Effective immediately, Carrier-trained technicians and comfort
consultants will be able to offer SolarCity services to Carrier customers. Those who purchase a
new Carrier product and elect to install SolarCity solar panels will receive a $1,000 rebate,
while reaping the benefits of leveraging a sustainable energy source to help power their home.
Carrier is a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
(NYSE: UTX).
Recognizing that a home’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is
one of the largest household consumers of energy, Carrier and SolarCity’s new initiative offers
a clean, energy-efficient solution that further enhances the benefits of Carrier’s already efficient
products. As a result of the companies’ combined vision, this collaboration will benefit
customers of both businesses and also serve as the first step toward providing offerings that
can truly optimize home energy performance.
“Carrier’s collaboration with SolarCity is a natural fit as we look to expand energy
efficiency beyond the HVAC system to the whole home,” said Matthew Pine, director of

marketing, Carrier. “Our collective offerings allow us to create solutions that enable
homeowners to gain more control of their home energy consumption and help create a more
robust home energy ecosystem.”
The $1,000 rebate can be applied to furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, packed
units, ductless systems or entire system upgrades, upon operation of the homeowner’s
SolarCity system.1
