Here Come the Fuzz

Yesterday afternoon, I had a DirecTV installer working at my house on cable issues.  He was parked out front.  About mid-afternoon, a police car starts cruising around the neighborhood.  The car came to a stop right next to my installer, and the officer inside started talking to my installer.  I saw all of this from the window.

So, I high-tailed it outside to see what was up.  When I got within ear-shot, my installer said, "Here's the guy you need to talk to."  (Gulp.)

So the officer says, "Are those solar panels on your roof?"

(Whew!)

I proceeded to explain a bit about them and their costs.  It turns out that the officer lives a few blocks from me, has been considering panels, and recently noticed mine.  He had questions about costs and who installed it.  I gave him the name of my solar installer and the address for this website.

So, for Officer Jones (his real name - might be Corporal or Sergeant, I wasn't paying attention), here are your links.

The panels were installed by Jersey Solar, LLC (website).  The total cost was $52,000 but the state rebate pays about 70%, so my cost was about $16,000.  Click the Major Event Entries link to the left for an index to articles and pictures of the whole process.  If you need anything else, please feel free to e-mail me at the link on the left.
