When attending family functions, folks often ask what I do. When they hear solar, I still get the stares and comments like “That’s really expensive right?” or “How is that going without the subsidies?” Part of me is really frustrated that we haven’t made the leap yet, part of me understands why that is. All of laughs out loud when some overpaid petrochemical engineer tells me that Chevron is scrapping a solar project in Hawaii because it is too expensive!!! If Chevron is short on cash, I am sure about 50% of SolarWakeup readers would be happy to present a no upfront cost option to Chevron.
