Kayla Carlisle, Vice PRESIDENT human resources and marketing

I always knew solar was great for the environment, but what really made me believe in solar was when I saw just how much homeowners could save the SECOND it was switched over. I called everyone I knew that owned their home and explained to them that they can forget about their stocks...sticking solar on their roof was the BEST investment they could ever make.
