A lot of people don't want to install solar on their roofs for the aesthetics as well. Would love to see if this picks up, especially here in Boston! Good luck Amit.

@kunalslab right, we've encountered people who dislike the aesthetics and others who live in historic houses with roofs that can't be altered. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, the more I dive into this the more I appreciate the looks of the Crystalline Silicon the panels are made of and what it stands for. Aesthetic trends can change over time too - people in Southern California don't look at green lawns the same way.

First company to make that logo famous wins! Reference ello.co and soawkward app for iOS.

Looks really interesting, but I'm not sure I fully understand. Is this more of a eco concious thing, or can I invest my money and see a return on my investment outside of an electricity bill?
Amit Rosner
@alexg473 thanks. Some of our Sun Partners do it for the savings, others for the environment, and most of them because they finally have the opportunity to do the right thing without much effort. At this time we don't support investing for profit beyond canceling your electric bill.

@alexg473 BTW, the Boston Herald just published this today - see what the Sun Partner and Sun Host say about their motivations: http://www.bostonherald.com/busi...

I own my home, but when I signed up, it said I need to be a homeowner. Did I get that as an error because I'm in an area you're not currently servicing?
Amit Rosner
@bradenhamm I'm sorry if the message was ambiguous. You can be a Sun Partner. As to becoming a Sun Host, you may be out of our current coverage area, our team will follow up with you to clarify.
Jordan Nemrow
Really great idea @amitrosner. Theoretically if someone owns unused farmland, could they motetize that land by having you come in and installing a farm of panels?
Amit Rosner
@nemrow thanks. yes, that's possible. We prefer covering roofs since they are just sitting there uselessly baking in the sun.
