89TH MEETING OF THE JOINT ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Success today at El Paso’s Historic Landmark Commission! The Chief Historic Preservation Officer did not want us to install solar panels on our customer Andrea’s historic home that are visible from the street. She made her case and objected to ours. The thing is, the only other install option would mean Andrea would lose 30% of her energy production per solar panel. Andrea shared her motivations for going solar as well as her love for her historic home and neighborhood. We then showed pictures of our other installations, we showed them the numbers from both install options side-by-side, and we cited Texas Property Code, to sway the commission 5-1 in our favor ☀️🥳 Install photos coming soon!
