What customers say:

Everyone knows the environmental benefits of going green, but John taught us the financial benefits of a commercial solar installation. We’re combining solar power, batteries, and car chargers. It’s a complex project, with multiple moving parts. John said his advice was more peace of mind than anything else, and in the end he was right.

I feel like the decision we made – reaching out to John after reading about him online – was the right decision. We’re expecting to earn six figures in the first year, and for twenty years from our roof, because of solar power.

John’s deep Solar Market knowledge, developer insight, and most importantly his cost-saving and cost-effective consulting, has helped us tremendously in framing our understanding of a company we are charged with vetting for Investment. I highly recommend commercial companies to engage John as an intelligent and cost-effective protective-measure when vetting commercial and utility-scale solar proposals and projects.

All energy projections are wrong, because humans are ornery creatures

By John Fitzgerald Weaver | July 28, 2020

It’s not that we don’t see far into the future, it’s that the variables are too great for us to pick a single specific future. And it’s not that we shouldn’t to listen to those who make projections. I’m just reminding you that it’s important for us to realize that everyone is wrong, and that…
