Thank you to everyone who attended our solar party last month. We had over 30 people in attendance throughout the course of the day, including reporters from the local Ingleside Light paper. We'll let you know when the story is published! For those of you who couldn't be there, let us know and we can set up a private tour, or organize a second party if there is enough interest.
Thank you again to Solar City for their presentation on solar photovoltaic systems and for the refreshments. Thank you to Building Solutions for information about home energy testing and solar water heating. I learned that SolarCity is the only company around providing lease options instead of a pure purchase for solar panels. This program is what made solar finally possibly for us as our upfront costs were only $29. Their program is apparently widely popular as they now have an 8 month waiting list for leased systems (direct purchases can be processed and installed much faster). All the more reason to look into solar soon and get on the list! Just announced this week is a partnership with US Bank that creates a tax equity fund that should hopefully speed up leases. Check out the press release.
On a personal note, our PG&E electric bill last month was $12.03, down from $99 the year before. Our total savings to date $615.03 and 3453 pounds of CO2 offset!
