Host Comments

This is our second solar home. We felt PV solar was a solid technology available now, not just for the future. The solar choice was easy for us when PV became a sound financial investment. Then it only seemed sensible to add the electric vehicle and the charging station. We are pleased with our investment. Visit us on the tour and see for yourself.
