You know that when solar power gets it’s own TV advertising, it’s getting popular. These channels,Discovery channel, Planet Green, Biography, The Sci-Fi channel and CNBC, will feature this direct response solar TV advertisement that will begin airing in April, and continue until October.*
These spots will steer you to a website where you will be able to enter a sweepstakes drawing for a free solar energy system for your home, among other cool giveaways. Not to mention, all the valuable information about the solar revolution going on. I know that I will be logging into that site, just to check it out anyway, and I will certainly register for the solar energy system as well.
The problem with this is that, with the coming of summer, we are coming into some prime solar sun time. Sunny days means a lot of kilowatts are just waiting to be produced. Taking a chance on a contest like this is akin to playing a million to one lottery, which means the chances of winning are not particularly good. But I can say with all certainty, that solar panels on your roof now means guaranteed savings not only for the summer ahead, but for years and decades to come. That’s not a million to one shot lottery, that’s a sure thing.
And that’s the type of solar sweepstakes that everyone should be taking advantage of, so that the winning starts now and will continue year after year.
