The Sunbeam - July 2019 Edition

Happy July to our Cape Fear Solar Systems family! We are so excited to already be releasing the second issue of our monthly newsletter, The Sunbeam. We also would like to welcome our new subscribers - we are happy to have you on board! For those of you that may just now be subscribing, read a little bit more below about what you can expect to find within your monthly issue of The Sunbeam. The idea for this newsletter was borne from a few recent conversations with past customers, who continue to be pleased with the performance of their CFSS solar array, but were interested in staying more in the loop about ways the industry at large was developing, and about other projects that CFSS is working on. Our goal is to provide an interactive, fascinating, and fun monthly update with our customers, as well as anyone else who’d be interested in joining the email list. The decision to install solar, in addition to obvious financial and environmental benefits, can feel like being inducted into a society, a “club”, of early adopters and forward thinkers. Many of you have told us about ways that adding solar has changed your relationship with energy – the way it’s used and produced – and even changed the way that you look at rooftops! It can almost be like a scavenger hunt – seeing new solar installations pop up in your neighborhood, or finally noticing solar roofs that have been around for a long time. Here at Cape Fear Solar Systems, we so enjoy the interactions that we have with our clients – and often express how we wish all of you could get to know each other. We are a unique community of people, with similar motivations and ways of thinking. The Sunbeam is an effort to further connect the CFSS family, and keep our community in the loop about each other and energy developments at large. Please continue to reach out with stories, pictures, or content that you’d like to share – we love hearing from you, and hope that The Sunbeam offers an exciting and collaborative channel of communication, and another way to continue the solar conversation! We’re excited about where solar is headed in our community, and excited about how each and every one of you are a part of that growth. Here’s to a bright future!

Sunny regards, Forrest Sanderson Residential Project Developer

Featured Testimonial Video: The Trescas

Meet Mercedes and Bob Tresca. The Trescas are proud customers of Cape Fear Solar Systems, and are located in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. Through the Trescas' solar installation experience, they were presented multiple quotes from varying companies. Mercedes and Bob were both clear and enthusiastic in their response as to why they chose Cape Fear Solar Systems. The Trescas chose Cape Fear Solar Systems for the sales experience they received, and they also liked the idea of going with a local company. "The integrity that John exudes when he discusses things makes you confident that things are going turn out well when you do business with them," Bob stated. Both Mercedes and Bob were intent that they felt taken care of throughout the process. Mercedes also expressed, "I think we are both very happy with going with Cape Fear Solar over the other people that were out there. The amount of information, the professionalism, the patience during our house delayed construction. I would be very happy to recommend them to anyone who is interested." The Trescas also liked the technical aspect of the installation as far as understanding exactly what the product was and how it performed. Watch and listen to what the Trescas have to say about going solar!
