It's doing 100 percent and a bit more, and we are stoked.

Cecile Morgan of Rancho Mirage took advantage of One Block Off the Grid's campaign last year (Coachella Valley with HelioPower) to put a 7.2-kilowatt system on her 2,800-square-foot home thinking it would cover about 80 percent of her and her husband's electrical use.

“It's doing 100 percent and a bit more, and we are stoked,” Morgan said.

“I felt comfortable with 1BOG because they vetted the installer and did all the homework,” she said. “That's the scary part. That's what stopped us for a very long time.”
