For the pending sale of the house, I whipped up a few slides on the savings, pretty compelling stuff.
The CEO of Namaste Solar, our installer, was at President Obama and Vice President Biden’s signing of the stimulus package.. sooo cool.

Interesting trends here.. in October, our YOY solar use went UP! But that looks to be because last year at that time we had one of our lowest months ever (254). Still, Oct of 2008 was 54% less than 2 years ago (pre-solar). November returned us to good trends, with a 36.5% decrease YOY in solar consumption. And, like October, 54.6% over 2 years ago. So, in general, the trends continue to be good. These are good months, we don’t use the A/C and the sun remains strong on our panels. It’s kind of cool to use the clothes line, but Aviva is great and will if it’s warm enough.
