i first contacted a solar co. in golden, co. i think the largest in the state at that time. they asked me to send them some data and they would send me some estimates. i contacted eco-depot, curtis schieb, for another bid. i didn`t send the first company any info--didn`t like the impersonal nature of their response. curtis made an appt. w/ me, came up and spent about 2 hours looking at what i had and talked to me about what i wanted to achieve. he went back and worked a proposal. we had to tweak it a couple of times. he also put in a solar thermal system for me. he came up and worked on it and got it installed as scheduled. xcel, my ultility co., gave us several hoops to jump thru that curtis had not encounted before, so the process getting my net meter in place took a little longer than expected. the system is up and running and is providing me w/ up to 45.5 kwh/day. that`s the most it has produced that i have seen in one 24 hr period.<br />
