Ask Solar Sandy

Solar Sandy got her start in a rather surprising way. Many years ago, Sandy's daughter called her asking for help in paying her power bill of almost $600! The bill, like for everyone, had to be paid or it was lights out. But Sandy wasn't about to just write a check. She knew that for her daughter to become independent, she'd have to figure something else out.

Sandy rolled up her sleeves and started researching on how to lower power bills. She found what we all find... recommendations to change to LED lighting, sealing windows and getting high-efficiency HVAC units. Those ideas weren't going to bring down her daughter's energy bill to the point she could afford it every month. So she kept digging.

What she discovered was the power of solar energy. But there was a hitch. The companies that Sandy lined up for her daughter to consult had little clue as to what really worked and were simply out there selling packages using low-tier solar panels and high-cost inverters.
