Philadelphia based electricity retail supplier NRG Residential Solutions customers can take the power of the sun with them anywhere thanks to a first of its kind offer. Now, when residents of Pennsylvania and New Jersey sign up for an NRG Residential Solutions electricity service plan, they will receive a free portable, Goal Zero® Nomad® 7 Solar Panel, which allows people to power devices like smartphones, GPS devices, and MP3 Players while on the go.

Recently acquired by NRG Energy, Inc., Goal Zero LLC is a leader in developing portable solar innovations, including a suite of portable solar power, battery pack products and accessories.
