Questions & Answers
Motivation for installing solar panels:
“We want to stay and live at the farm long after retirement. If you don’t have to pay for electricity, that’s one bill you don’t have to worry about. Since we drive an electric car, we don’t have to pay for the gas all because of the solar.”
Overall solar experience:
“Both of our solar arrays were put in by Green Power Energy. They went in with no fuss and I can’t complain about the workmanship or Green Power Energy, they were a great company.”
