Dear Scott,
Muir Commons Homeowners Association received our first "post-PV" utility bill last week and we were pleasantly surprised to see a mere $10.00 fee for electricity. Usually our Common House is air conditioned during the peak summer months and our bills reach $350.00 or more. Clearly we have made one giant step closer to sustainability.
The pleasure of living with a photovoltaic power system can hardly compare to the fantastic joy that our entire community derived from the opportunity to host a PV installation workshop at our facility to coincide with the installation of the PV system itself. Without your support for this endeavor, it would certainly have never happened. Fifteen attendees from Canada, Florida, Colorado, Utah, and Southern California all came away from our training ready to initiate a new career. There are untold hundreds of people that we will have eventually affected once their knowledge and skills are put into action to install PV systems on their clients' homes.
And while coordinating and providing excellent services to execute the workshop, CCEnergy also fulfilled its role as supplier of the highest quality equipment and services for the entire photovoltaic system. Scott's experience with the PV industry meant that we had access to the highest quality installer, Sine Electric, and other staff presenters for the workshop syllabus. But as you know, the responsibilities for a PV system do not end with the final connection of wires.
Scott and CCEnergy responsibly and ethically carried out the duties necessary to secure the California Energy Commission buydown rebate and Pacific Gas & Electric E-Net metering agreement. Our rebate check arrived right on schedule.
On behalf of the Muir Commons Homeowners Association, I would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for the services you provided above and beyond the normal call of duty. I can highly recommend Scott Ragsdale and the other CCEnergy staff for any future photovoltaic system installations and related services.
Sincerely,
Charles Ehrlich, President
Muir Commons Homeowners Association
