Talk at Wilkes County Public Library

Now available on line, the talk given at the Wilkesboro Library on June 15. Those connected to Duke Energy in North Carolina have a unique opportunity to make money by selling power. Under the “buy-all/sell-all” option two meters are used, one for the energy sold to the utility company, and one for the energy used in the home or business. You can sell energy for about 24 cents per kilowatt-hour while you buy it for 8.5. The solar system can be larger than required for what you use. It is easy to see how one can make money on this deal. Down load the PowerPoint presentation by clicking HERE.

What people are saying

Here is an unsolicited email from a business acquaintance.

"I just finished Solar Basics yesterday, and that is one fine effort on your part!  I learned a lot, it covered a whole spectrum of subjects I hadn’t even expected, and it was written in plain, understandable English.  Nice job!  I just ordered 5 more copies to give to people I’m trying to train into solar; this is the perfect first read for people with a general education.  Can’t wait for Solar Design….."
