Why Telling The Truth Is Paramount For A Business

---

When a company hides the truth or worse deliberately misinforms, it chips away at the customers belief in not just the company but all the associates of that company. In home improvement this is always a large concern. It is specifically why sites like Home Advisor or Angies List were created. The simple truth...

"Big Green" Is The Best At Destroying Cash & Losing Money

---

Do Solar Panels Generate Power on Cloudy Days?

---

Clouds are not really the obstacle they appear to be. Many people think solar panels work best in sun-blasted regions with few or no clouds. That's not quite true.

---

For years Solar Wolf Energy has been getting phone calls for us to install a solar array on a past customer's summer home in Maine. For years we have had to let our amazing customers know that it may be a better option to drive hours into the Appalachians and mine coal for their own power, because it may be easier. It appears that even after TV broadcasts, newspaper articles, constituents asking, and even today the Maine House voting 108-38...
