<p> For the Deichman family, cost was a prime motivator for installing a PV system on their home. They felt the system was not only affordable, but their favorite part about their new solar electric system is that it will save them money on their monthly energy bills for the next 25 to 35 years.</p>

<p>As an engineer in the research and teaching of sustainable energy, Mr. Scott wanted to gain first-hand experience, and he felt that Southern Arizona would be an ideal location to install his system. What the Scott family liked most about their experience with TFS was the overall attitude, willingness to answer questions, and responsive to their time frame needs.They also liked that the technicians used paint which was provided to paint the conduit both leading from the roof and in the garage, as well as boxes near the electric meters. Not only do they enjoy the energy their new system produces, but they really enjoy the ability to track the energy production on the Internet.</p>

<p>This Saddlebrooke homeowner chose to install a PV system to not only save but he also wanted to keep the planet cleaner by choosing a non-polluting energy source. One of the things he enjoys most about his new system is that he can monitor the data from his solar PV system remotely from anywhere there&#8217;s an Internet connection.</p>

<p>The Shea household has chosen to install a truly unique photovoltaic system that not only looks fantastic, but reduces their environmental impact as well. This solar ramada covers their swimming pool, which enables you to see the sunlight through the backside of the modules. Their daytime electricity needs are met with this system, allowing this family to dramatically reduce their carbon footprint.</p>

<p>This photovoltaic system was part of an addition to an existing home.  The homeowner wanted the solar panels to look like they were &#8220;built-in&#8221; the roof structure.  The panels were mounted on fiberglass shingles to be more flush with the surrounding pitched clay tile roof and to allow the panels to blend in with the rest of the roof.</p>
