“OC Goes Solar was instrumental in helping me make the right decision, in that I was getting a good deal and I was definitely not alone. I don’t really pay for electricity anymore, nor for gas for that matter, thanks to my new electric car. My solar panels with a guaranteed life expectancy of 25 years will be paid for in less than five years from installation.”
