This Month’s Issue: Solar Considerations

We typically touch on home improvement projects in May, as the warm weather gets many in the mood to tackle projects put on hold for the winter. This month, we’re exploring a different kind of home investment some are considering: rooftop solar panels. Learn more here and if considering solar, be sure to research options before committing to a vendor, and always work with your electric co-op to understand your home’s solar potential and how it uses energy overall.
