Our electric company has two large solar farms that will service some 3000 thousand homes to start. Fort Bliss has tremendous solar foot print and expanding so it is bringing prices down.. there are three solar companies in town now when a few years back they came in from New Mexico to do onesy twosy installs. I am going to train my nephew's and grandkids on setting these up for summer jobs... they even offer classes at community college on how to install...
