Freedom Solar walked me through the economics of it, where if you choose financing, you can potentially be up $50 a month, every month, starting the day you turn your system on.</p> <p>With no downpayment required, solar not only ads value to your home and is great for the environment, but allows you to save money from day one.</p> <p>Freedom Solar operates in Texas, Colorado, Virginia, and Florida, but there are plenty of other great options nationwide. </p> <p><br></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/forthelongrun/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/forthelongrun/support</a>
