New addition to the house

See my house? Notice the flat, black things on the roof? Those are solar panels and I’m really excited about them.

Those little babies should supply our house with 104% of our electrical needs, save about four tons of coal each year, and make us feel all responsible.

Colorado Sunflower installed them for us, and my experience with them has been pleasant.

These solar panels are under warranty for 20-something years, will pay for themselves in less than that time, and can theoretically last for up to 60 years.

What’s more, if the federal government passes a cool energy bill sponsoring alternative energy sources, we might get a big, hefty tax deduction.

Solar panels - they’re not just for Boulderites anymore.
