A New Lease on Solar Energy
My friend John M. showed me some resources about a growing trend for handling the economics of solar energy through leasing.
Here are the links:

Solar panels with no money down? The power savings cover the lease payments? Sign me up!
Of course, there’s one problem — no solar panel installation company in Lubbock. It still boggles my mind to consider that our closest solar installer is in Amarillo (Earth Solar). Lubbock is such a sunshine-rich place; a solar panel installation company would make a ton of money here. I can’t believe that some entrepreneur hasn’t started a Lubbock solar panel installation business yet.
At any rate, I’m glad to see the green energy industry beginning to adapt to the real economic situation of most Americans.

Google blog search is always great for finding new stuff! I was trying to figure out how to install an attic ventilator.. Don’t know why this one came up!

I think Solar panels are an excellent way to provide clean, green and renewable energy to power a wide variety of devices. The power from solar panels is strong, reliable and easy to maintain. Regarding your last sentence I completely agree with you. I’m very glad about that as well.
Cheers,

I am a solar contractor in Lubbock and I’ve been working here since 2007. If I had better marketing, you would know that I am here (oops). The only customers I can provide service for is SPEC customers. LP&L won’t allow any of it’s customers to have solar or wind, for that matter. Since LP&L is buying all of Xcel’s customers in Lubbock, no one in Lubbock will be allowed to have renewable energy. This is why I will most likely have to relocate my main office to a more “green-friendly” city sometime this year. You can check out my website to see some of our installations at www.thermabreeze.net.
