Three years ago I purchased a solar electric system for my 2,000 square foot home in Phoenix.

There was not the grand 30% tax credit of the cost of the system that is available today. There was,
however, a utility rebate I took advantage of that paid for about 35% of the cost of my system.
So here I was, left with about $15,000 left to pay on the system. I got a loan for that amount
leaving nothing out of pocket for me to pay. That was a big "gulp", but what the hey, I felt
good about my decision and my payments were the same as I had been paying my utility company.

The other day I was realizing as I made that last payment, I own a power generation plant on top
of my home that will produce all the energy I need for the next 40 years, at no cost to me. No matter
how much the utility decides to raise rates, as they must do to survive, my cost is fixed for my lifetime.

I felt an independence that was palpable. I felt that my decision to install this sytem was really
having an impact on the world. Maybe in a small way, but the world. It really hit me.

I own a solar company so it was not a big challenge for me to make this decision. I began to think
of our customers and why, or how, they may make this decision. I have come up with all types of
'selling propositions' in our company, however, I had not realized the deep rooted sense of pride
that is felt by contributing to the world in this manner. My little part of making our country a little
bit less dependant on the oil that has caused us to lose our way in so many areas.

Three years was going to pass one way or the other. I have been contributing to make the world a
better place one kilowatt hour at a time.

I control my energy and financial future.

I'm proud.
