Look on any page on the website. See where it says "solar powered" in the top right? Click on it. I know, it's not super-blatant. But everything needs to be super-blatant. I was just informed that two out of the three recent Open House signups "couldn't find the info on the website" despite a front-page picture and description. So until I move to a site where everything is red and yellow and flashing, we'll just have to hope that people read what's there. Bill will have to talk about the specs, although I don't know if he'll share costs. We're not off the grid, we feed back into it when we're not using all the power. Consider the grid to be our batteries. The site will be getting more "green" info shortly, including more info on the panels themselves.

Gas prices are high! I'm going to hijack my own thread and take this time to ask you about the panels. The last time I did any research it looked like it would cost me $70,000+ for panels and electronics (I do not believe the installation or batteries were included) to get off the grid for around 8-10 months out of the year. I know the AC really kicked the kW in the nuts but I cannot remember what the heat did. Can you, if you don't mind, shed some light on the costs and any additional info on your panels? I might also suggest that FM might want to put an info page on its site about them. It would be pretty interesting and financially probably a good decision based on the new "green attitude" a lot of your customers may now have.
