Meet Mercedes and Bob Tresca of Carolina Beach, North Carolina who installed solar right before Hurricane Florence made it's way through the East Coast.

"The greatest benefit is NO ELECTRIC BILLS. We love the app. We can see how much electricity we are generating. We installed our solar system right before a hurricane. Cape Fear Solar came out a few days before to make sure everything was okay without us contacting them. We fled to Pennsylvania to stay safe during the hurricane and thanks to the mobile app, we knew we were generating power the day after the storm. Because of this we knew at least our roof was still on the house and the panels were working."
