While cruising the trade floor at SOLAR 2008, I kept my eye out for simple turnkey solar systems. Let's be honest, buying a solar electric setup can be a daunting technical challenge for the average homeowner, so any company that tries to simplify the process gets points from me.
Solar in a Box caught my eye.
Ready Solar announced their Solar in a Box system on April 9, 2008 and premiered it at the expo. The idea is pretty simple: Ready Solar assembles many of the components in the factory, so the traditional on-site (and expensive) work is reduced. The company claims the average installation job can be completed in roughly half the time.
