More Solar System Notes
Experimenting with Solar PV Prompted by a telemarketing call I talked to the sales rep and updated some notes on home solar power systems. What they were offering seemed reasonable, maybe very slightly higher than you could find by shopping around, but they offered a 40 month payment plan. For […]
