When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Thus begins the Declaration of Independence, the Thomas Jefferson-penned masterpiece that changed the course of United States history 241 years ago this month. And it is truly a great document. In fact, it’s versatile enough that it could be easily altered in ANY case in which independence is declared. That’s why we thought the time was right for a Declaration of Energy Independence.We love having power. Right? It’s good to have power in your life, in your home, even in your car. And we don’t think about it too much, since it’s always there. It’s something that we easily take for granted. Well, until we get a higher-than-normal electric bill. The beauty of living in this great nation, though, is that we have choices.  We’re not tied to coal anymore. We have the liberty to choose, for the most part, how we get our power. It could still be coal, but the price of going that route exclusively is becoming steeper. It could be wind power. Or…it could be solar.The two most important things to realize are:

• These choices are open for exploration. Many people don’t realize that they have options available to them aside from paying the amount on their electric bill every month without fuss.
• These options generally come with the ability to find out how much they cost…for free. Shine Solar provides a no-cost, no-obligation solar analysis, during which we look at each home or business’s energy usage, perform a shade analysis, and give them a custom priced based upon their unique usage. And after we provide you that information, the ball is in your court. We’re not going to hassle you. We’re not going to guilt you. If solar is a poor choice based on the fact that you live in a forest, or sunlight just doesn’t optimally hit your roof, we’re going to tell you that, too. Knowledge is power, and the more you have, the better off you’ll be in manifesting your own energy reality.

This July, think about what your household or business needs. What it deserves. If you have already transitioned to solar energy, then celebrate YOU this month, as you have declared your energy independence. If you haven’t pulled the trigger yet, then check into it. Why not? It’s free to do, and you come out of the process armed with education…which is a beautiful thing whether you choose to go solar or not.Either way, take a moment to celebrate this month. Celebrate life. Liberty. And the pursuit of happiness.And then give us a call if you’d like. You’re great, right?  So this month, why not grant independence…to yourself?844-80-SHINE.
