When a new customer gets on board for solar, we understand there might be some hesitation for fear of a long process. Here at SunHarvest, we try to push the time-frame it takes to install a system on a home. Just last month, we installed a system within
nine days
of the contract being signed. That's record time in the solar industry! The install was even on a historical home - which requires special approval from the city to complete. Our crew had a great time bringing this home into the 21st Century.

People's Climate Movement Day
On October 14, our team participated in People's Climate Movement Day, where we were able to attend various events promoting the welfare of our planet. In the morning, we passed out umbrellas we donated and other necessities outside of Central Arizona Shelter Services (

The United States is on track to hit a big number in renewable energy:
More than 1 million American homes should have solar panels by February 2016.
While solar still makes up a
tiny part
of the sliver of renewables that power the US, it has increased exponentially in the past decade. And the solar industry is poised to keep growing in the decades to come.
In 2006, only about

Energy Tips for Novermber
- Run major appliances at night.
Appliances, such as the dishwasher, washer, and dryer, generate heat when they're operating. At any time of year, it's much cheaper to run these at night after the outdoor temperature has dropped. On a cool summer night, your air conditioner won't have to work as hard to supply cool air to a house warmed by appliances. On a cold winter night, your running appliances will give your heating system a boost.
- Take advantage of the sun in the winter.
On sunny days, open the blinds and drapes on the south and west sides of the house. The sun will help warm the rooms at absolutely no cost to you as long as you remember to close them when the sun sets.
