"The last three months, I've saved at least $70 a month. This month, my bill was $45, and that was while I was running my air conditioning unit the majority of the time. The previous three months, my bill was zero dollars. GRID Alternatives has pleasant folks to work with. They are polite, helpful, and efficient. I would recommend anyone to participate in their program of energy conservation through solar energy."
