A and R Solar is a great young company. Andy and Reeves are great professionals. We wish them all the success. They are poised to be an integral part of the "Green Revolution/Economy". I would recommend them to any one looking to have systems such as ours installed in their homes.<br />Regarding the question of incentives, we won`t have a tax benefit for either the PV or solar heating system until 2010. And we await the City of Seattle`s return to install their meter so that we get credit for the electricity we are now feeding into the City Light grid. This should occur within the next few days. The inspector would not initially install the meter until the electrician changed some wiring to suit her. The electrician had done the wiring to the standard mandated by the SunnyBoy manual . This, according to A and R , is better than what the City wishes. But, to comply, the electrician has made the change. This modifies some of my answers to the last group of questions. Let me know if you have any questions about my responses to your survey. We have only just started our PV system a few days ago and have already generated 35 kwh. And we have reduced the associated CO2 emissions by andgt-35 pounds in this short period of time. We are excited!
