We At AllBay Solar...

One of the reasons why we at AllBay Solar believe this to be a pivotal time for homeowners is because the time is right for making the home improvement investment of solar integration.

The time is right. After the 2008 Financial Crisis, homeowners, became distrustful of banks, and lost a great deal of confidence toward the ownership of their homes. Americans were distrustful of banks as well, and how they were regulated by the government.

Along with a financial crisis, Americans were becoming more preoccupied with the environment. Just take a look at some the documentaries that were being released at the time:

Burning the Future: Coal in America (David Novack, 2008)
Flow: For the Love of Water (Irena Salina, 2008)
A Delicate Balance - The Truth (Aaron Schreibner, 2008)
Renewal (Marty Ostrow, Terry Kay Rockefeller, 2008)
The World According to Monsanto (Marie-Monique Robin, 2008)

As well as environmental issues dealt with in some of the more popular fiction films:

Birdemic (James Nguyen, 2008)
The Happening (M. Night Shyamalan, 2008)
An Inconvenient Penguin (Todd Lampe, 2008)
WALL-E (Andrew Stanton, 2008)

Clearly, based on these cultural fascinations and the economic crisis we were facing as Americans, we all wanted to find a way not only to attain the American dream (of homeownership), but of a way to keep that American dream and never have it taken away from us.

One of the solutions Americans could take to defend themselves is to upgrade their homes, and to live more cost-effectively with renewable energies. This solution solved two problems at once:

~It solved the problem of reducing energy bills.
~It helped push toward a cleaner future, for the children of homeowners, who might one day inherit the household.

Ultimately, solar energy is an investment in the future. With an investment in the future, we can protect ourselves from future crises. You can produce your own energy at home, even with subsidies from Federal, State, and Local governments. They are doing this because they know the time is now to invest in solar. It is finally financially feasible. It is finally a course of action home owners can take for their future, and for the future of their children, and the environment.
