“If your electricity bill is $100 or more a month, solar is a no-brainer.” Read Shaikh Sarmad’s solar story.
It makes strong financial sense for most households to go solar according to Huntington Beach, CA resident Shaikh Sarmad.” We couldn’t have said it better. Read his solar story here.
“After becoming a parent, I started to think more about the environment and decided to install solar. I also plan on buying an electric car, so knew my usage would be going up and that I want to “fuel” my car with clean energy.
I was introduced to your program just as I’d begun researching solar — I really wanted to know what was out there. Your website has great educational material for someone like me who was starting my research from scratch.
When it came the time to make my decision, I found the negotiated prices to be the single-most most valuable aspect of One Block Off the Grid. I’d received bids from a number of solar installers prior to joining your Orange County campaign, but your selected installer, HelioPower, came out ahead not only in price but in knowledge and professionalism. It was clear you did a good job not only in negotiating prices but also in vetting the installers thoroughly. I was very pleased with how HelioPower handled the entire process from start to finish.
Since I work from home, I kept an eye on them, and every step of the way the guys from HelioPower were responsive and helpful. When some of our plans changed midstream, they had no problem making the 2.5 hour round-trip drive to take apart some of their work and make sure everything was right. They showed me how everything worked once they were finished, and even took pictures of the system throughout the install process. (You can find those here.) Overall, their work and customer-service was just amazing.
Most people think that solar is expensive.They don’t realize that there are typically generous federal tax credits and utility company rebates available. Also, besides purchasing, most solar companies offer various financing and leasing options.
Solar is a very practical solution if your house is viable. It’s just like shopping for a car – you can buy solar outright, get a loan, or lease, with a $0 or small down payment. However, unlike a car, which is a depreciating asset, solar keeps on giving! If your bill is $100 or more a month, it’s a no-brainer, financially and environmentally, for most households to go solar. My last bill was $1.73 — you can’t beat that!
