What I need most are installers. We are paying $10/hour. It's not much, but it is above the minimum wage

Eh, I know exactly what you need because I too have a solar energy solutions (specialized on solar solutions for water heating, not photovoltaic like yours) company here in Portugal and I had a very hard time to find a good installer (the law here requires solar systems installers to have very specific credentials) to work for the company.
What I arranged was a couple of people that are credited to make those installations and have their own business but whenever someone asks for their services I provide all the material, and whenever people ask my company for providing their home with solar heating I use those installers.

win-win situation.

Good luck man, good thing we're separated by an ocean so we are not competitors on the same business :lol:


btw, I checked your site and it's nice. You probably won't understand a word on mine, but here it is anyway: http://ennova.com.pt

Meh, we are working on improving the website. It is still not where I'd like it to be. It is so hard to find dependable people. Our crew leader will make like $20/hr, but I am having issues finding helpers for $10.

Yeah, Solar is the way to go right now with everyone and their mamas going green. I really hope business does well for you there. If you ever want to get into the PV business, I wouldn't mind helping you get in touch with some good suppliers.

Young girls? Isn't that a little questionable from a legal standpoint?

16-25 years old. I don't care if they are ugly. People trust girls more, it's just that people are more likely to open the door to a girl, not a man or a woman. That's just reality

I doubt anyone will open to a f-ugly girl but hey, I may be wrong about that. The US have a different culture maybe 8)

Oh yeah, I totally get that. I know if a guy came up to my house trying to sell me solar products, I'd just release the hounds. If it were a girl, though, I might at least hear what she has to say.

Just don't want to see you get shut down for violating labor laws (if any exist on the subject).

Oh I know, and the girls won't be selling anything. Just educating people on how to save energy. We get paid by the state for doing energy audits.

But no one will open the door to some dude, no one

Solar energy is grossly inefficient right now, and is an insanely dirty development process.

Just to warm your water or light your driveway, they have to mine, refine, and use gillions of chemicals.

FL is obviously a great place for solar energy though. Though, like hybrid technology, I'll be refraining from it until the time to recoup your investments dwindles.

OT: They need to have a solar device to charge an electric car like this one in a feasible amount of time. Then we'd be in business.

As inefficient as it may be, it stll makes perfect sense.

For example, let's say your electric bill is $180/month. I would recommend
a 5KW system with a solar hot water system. The entire cost of both systems would be $50,000. Sounds too expensive right? Well here is the catch. If you were to finance that amount over a 30 year loan at 5% interest rate your monthly payment would be roughly $216 per month which is slightly higher than the $180-$190 it is producing. But, we the cost of fuel rising and the economy nose diving, the cost of electricity will rise at a much higher pace. For example, back in 2000 cost of gas was $1.50/ga. If I would have told you I'll sell you gas at $1.8/ga for the rest of your life, a lot of people would have looked at me as if I was crazy since I was charging a higher rate than the gas stations, but looking back now, all and I mean ALL of you would take that deal.

Add to that the value of controlling your finances. Knowing how much you'll pay for electricity and not have to worry about what's going on in the outer world since it will not affect you as much. Electric rates will raise about $10 this summer due to fuel prices, gas will rise, and panic will continue to harm the economy. This is one of the reasons why people do it.

Add to that the fact that the government helps pay for your system. You'll be paying $216/month for the entire cost of the system, then you will get a $20,500 state rebate check which is non-taxable. You will also get $9,000 tax credit that can carry over for 20 years. It is a credit, not a deduction, so it is as good as money. You can apply this to the system or spend it however you like (magic season tickets)


Also, take into account the environmental benefits of it. It is reducing CO2 production. This type of system can eliminate the ame amount of CO2 as if you took 800 cars off th streets or placed 300 trees.

Last, but not least. This system will increase the value of your home. You will automatically be class one energy star home, and as bad as the market is right now, having a solar system would have made it MUCH MUCH easier to sell your home and at a good price too.

The system is warranted for 25 years, but it's life expectancy is 45-50. This system is the only investment that will pay itself off 5-8 times over its lifetime without you having to move a finger. It is just sitting there producing for you.

Also, unlike a car or a vacation, we are not asking our clients to get invest in something new. Our clients are already paying for electricity, always have and always will. We are giving them an option to use the money they are already spending and invest wisely into something that will benefit them tremendously.
