For the Tucker family, solar power is as much about the environment as saving money. \u201cWe\u2019re very conservative with energy, so our bills weren\u2019t as high as some others,\u201d says Jan Carpenter Tucker, \u201cbut we really wanted solar, because it seems like the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tucker family were surprised they qualified for GRID\u2019s services. \u201cWe always get the phone calls and canvassers and we\u2019re never a fit,\u201d says Ms. Carpenter Tucker. \u201cGRID made it happen for us and we are ecstatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Carpenter Tucker was particularly touched by GRID\u2019s team going the extra mile to make her system viable. \u201cWe only needed a really small system, smaller than usual,\u201d says Ms. Carpenter Tucker. \u201cGRID went and designed something especially for us and they didn\u2019t bother us about a thing. It was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

With husband Vernon Tucker at work, Ms. Carpenter Tucker and daughter Naima Tucker held down the fort during the solar panel installation and she had a blast. \u201cIt was like hosting a party! I had so much fun. I\u2019m exhausted, but it really was the best experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Carpenter Tucker points to the house opposite hers and assesses their roof, she is determined to get her whole neighborhood to go solar. \u201cIt\u2019s just so great, I want to share it with everyone I know who might benefit.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
