We were presented with options, costs and how we could expect the system to work. No fancy financing gimmicks that other companies threw at us that would have made our $31k system cost another $10-15k. Glen Miller was excellent in his presentation of what was offered by Advanced Solar. Several other thoughts was that I had been seeing a lot of systems in the Amish communities and also the fact that you are a local business and I'd rather do business locally then with a company in Chicago or Cleveland. ” Duane Wade “ Just want to say everything was done very professionally from start to finish. Big thanks to Glen for handling all aspects of working with an old farm house and getting everything I asked for done.
