The principle argument for installing Solar was that the installation costs would be paid back over time through tax incentives and the offset of energy used. For those who can plan twenty plus years away this makes sense, but for those who don't have that option it doesn't make sense.<br /><br />However if you consider that the energy monopoly will continue to raise energy costs, the number of energy user's will continue to increase as the states population continues to increase, forcing a supply:demand shortfall, and Solar will always be available, installing Solar is a must!<br /><br />If you pay attention to your PG&E bill you will find lots of fingers in the energy pie. Reducing that bill every month to some token ($12) amount, with the potential to receive a check from PG&E at years end is an inducement to go Solar. Whether you manage your energy use for that outcome is up to you.<br /><br />My wife and I are in our mid to late 70's and will likely not see our Solar installation cost repaid. However the next owner of our home will enjoy those savings, and that should provide a valid argument in setting the selling price of our home. <br /><br />In all of this the one question always raised is who can I trust to engineer and install a viable Solar system. We did our diligence and spoke to several installers, but in the end there wasno doubt that Frank Dasmacci and Nationwide Sun was our choice. He is a person who is easy to like, knows the Solar buisness, is a man of his word, and his personnel reflect his finest attributes.<br /><br />It may seem quite relevant that he offered the lowest installation cost, but given all the factors it was important to us that we weren't working with someone who once sold Aluminum Siding. If you go Solar go Nationwide Sun!!!!<br /><br />Chuck Anderson
