I’m Roger Millar, I live in Austin, Texas, and I have an Alba Energy solar system on my house. And I decided to do that [go solar] because of the cost of electricity here in Austin.

Well, I looked at a couple of companies and they were just such a heavy sale. They were telling me I had to do this and had to do that to get the full benefit of solar.

And when I approached Alba it was much more low-key, much less high-pressure. They basically took my electric bills from 18 months and came back with a plan and said, “This is what we can do for you and this is how it will help you.” And that was the sale; there was no pushing or trying to persuade me.

It was a case of, “This is what we can do for you. Is it good for you?” And it was.

Basically, the reason we looked into solar in the first place was because of our electric bills. With our house facing west [our power bills] were extremely high in the summer. And we were shocked at how much our bills were going up each year.

So we looked into solar and we saw a big difference with the cost.

For the first 10 months of going solar, if we compare it to a similar period of before, we saved $4,100 dollars in 10 months. So it was a big savings. It went a long way towards paying for the actual solar installation.

It was quite funny, the city of Austin inspector got here and he went over and looked at the equipment, and he said, “Who installed this? This is really first-class.” And he made a comment about how nice the wires looked and that everything was very professional.

We installed [solar panels] in May 2016. It’s just been an absolute pleasure and we don;t really have to think about anything. The only thing we really check is to see how much solar we’ve generated because it’s kind of exciting, you know.

A couple of my neighbors have shown some interest so hopefully learn from my excited face that it’s worth considering.
