What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • My hope for the men who just finished installing my solar panels is that they know they are a part of the solution of saving the planet and that they have honorable jobs. I am thrilled about using alternative power at such a great price -- this has been a dream for my husband and me for 10 years. He was a radioecologist, biologist, and ornitholigist. Anything to save the planet. I hope more people move forward to solar and wind power. We need to act now. To borrow from a kid's sign, "There is no Planet B." Thank you and with gratitude.
