“I’m saving money on my electric bill and doing my part to save the planet.”

-Gail Greenblatt, Retired Professor

Energy Need

Gail Greenblatt has been a champion of the environment for decades. Whether it’s using energy — saving light bulbs, managing her thermostat or driving a hybrid, Gail is motivated by the notion that people should do what they can to reduce their energy use and reliance on fossil fuels.

Solar Solution

When Gail looked for someone to install her solar systems, she wanted a reliable company with extensive installation experience. She chose SunWorks. She went solar before the government offered any rebates or tax incentives and still believes the investment was worthwhile. She specifically wanted a customized system that powered essential appliances in the event of a blackout. SunWorks installed a hot water system and a customized solar electric system with battery backup that runs her refrigerator, garage door, TV and critical electrical outlets.

Savings

Gail sees a “definite improvement” in her electric bill. In fact, when she produces more energy than she consumes, she sells that energy back to the electric company for a credit. She boasts that her solar water heater never runs out of hot water — even when her family visits. And she enjoys peace of mind knowing she has electricity when utility power goes down.

“I believe renewable energy is the way we need to go. Solar energy makes it easy for us each to do our part in reducing our country’s fossil fuel dependency and carbon emissions. Solar energy is the way of the future.”
