About Mike Bennett

Do you want to help pay $1.4 Trillion to upgrade the electrical grid that powers your home? No, neither do I, but we\'re not going to be asked our opinion by the utility companies. Much of the electrical grid in the Northeast, along with the rest of the country, was primarily built in the 1960s and 1970s, making much of the core infrastructure roughly 50 to 60+ years old. It\'s being overwhelmed by increasing electrical demand. So we are now entering a new phase of upgrading the grid - and that means more expensive delivery charges, rates, and continually higher bills. There isn\'t a choice, the grid MUST be upgraded. But while you don\'t have a voice in this, you have an alternative - the SUN. Go solar and claim energy independence from your utility. I\'m a renewable energy pro, an electrical engineer, and 10 years of experience designing residential solar systems. The solar industry is progressing through the stages that all new technologies experience: first Innovation, then Inflated Expectations, Disillusionment, and now we\'re entering \"Enlightenment\". That means 2nd and 3rd generation products, and practical benefits finally understood and accepted. It\'s in the numbers, black and white - solar is a hedge against inflation. If you miss it, you\'ll pay dearly for years.Let\'s talk about analyzing your site, seeing what benefits we can derive, put them in your budget, and see why it\'s justified (Or not. Not every site is good for solar, but at least find out). If it does, we can draw up plans and a schedule to put you on track for energy independence this year, 2026.
