90% of the people I talk to will switch to solar if they just believe 3 things.

1. Energy from the sun can produce electricity that can be measured in $$.
2. My company can be trusted to use the best products and provide the best workmanship and service.
3.(MOST IMPORTANT) The system pays for itself using existing assets and investments that may currently be less secure and have a lower ROI.

Everyone can be convinced of 1 & 2 but you need to nail 3. Where is your money? A suitcase? A savings account? Stocks? CD’s? Your home equity? Compare your assets based on security and yield and rebalance including a solar investment. Use an independent financial advisor. Your broker will hate the idea.

As soon as I identify the best local company I’m going to start a new career selling solar. Solar.ray8@gmail.com
