BENEFIT
The average system installed in the Valley costs $40,000 and adds $32,000 to the value of a property. A miss-sized or wrongly financed system can detract from the value or even leave the home owner with an expensive buyout of the lease in order to get their property sold. Properly financed, a system can generate power at less than 10c per kWh. With the wrong finance program and you could be better off staying with the utility.
There are many horror stories about unethical contractors gouging unsuspecting home owners. I am an independent Professional Energy engineer, Certified Energy Auditor and Certified Solar Professional. I will assist you in making an informed decision which is best for you. I am on your side in these shark infested waters!
