Local business owner, George Rode, is really excited to share his latest solar panel project at 1590 W 7th. In fact, he is so excited that he is sharing the link to his solar monitoring system so that all of us can see what going solar means in helping the environment day by day, hour by hour.
I asked George why he did it? “The number one reason-it’s a gadget. My love for gadgets and my love for energy efficiency-solar is way cool.”
“As a businessman, there’s a tremendous incentive. It pays off in five years.” George should know, this is his third set of panels. George is the owner of Autohaus on 7th and EuroAsian Auto on Franklin, both in Eugene. And both buildings were retrofitted with solar panels about two and a half years ago. The project was installed by local solar contractors, Advanced Energy Systems.
