What You Need to Know

Description:

This system has been installed on top of the historic Niagara Buffalo Preservation Award winning home. You can view the panels from the west side of the home while standing on Grant St.

My Motivation:

It was a combination of always dreaming of having a home to run on clean energy and the fine people who work for the organization PUSH who helped us realize the dream financially.
