"Dear HelioPower,
To say that I am happy with your services would be an understatement. My first Annual True-up statement from SDG&E came this month and it was $14.14 for the entire year!!! I had been spending about $2,400 for electricity in 2009. I can't thank you enough for hitting the ball out of the park on my system. I told you what I wanted to accomplish and you engineered it, installed it and got me down to paying practically nothing for electricity. The system is exceeding the CSI spec by about 12% as you predicted.
I may have mentioned that I looked at installing solar three times over the last 20 years with the third time being the charm, as the saying goes. In recent years, the drastic reduction in the cost of solar components and the dramatic increase in government tax credits and rebates, made all the difference. Also, very cheap interest rates (around 3.7% on a home equity loan) made it possible for me to own my system (rather than lease) and have free electricity in 6-7 years. My monthly cash flow has already improved by $80 month over what I was paying on average for my electric bill previously. I also like the idea that I am now insulated from power company rate hikes.
My friends and family are taking notice as I share my $14 electric bill with them. Many are realizing what a "No Brainer" this is and should be new customers of HelioPower in the coming months. Thanks again for delivering what you promised and then some. Best of luck to you in what I consider a very exciting and worthwhile industry."
