Straight-Talk Solar Cast

In this week's podcast we discuss how solar panel systems make so much sense for senior citizens, retirees, and people about to retire.  Owned Solar is one of the only hedges against inflation, increases the value of the home, and has numerous environmental advantages.  We also discuss how some seniors object to going solar because they don't know how much longer they will be around...we argue there is no safer investment than solar power as long as the sun rises.
