By reducing our carbon impact, we are attaining advantages never ever seen before rather than just lowering our electricity bill."

Several of the elements included: financial local and also federal incentives, the statement of dealers in various other parts of the state that have already transitioned, and the truth that the Honda dealership has sufficient roof covering location to accommodate solar arrays effective enough to counter a large percentage of their power costs.
