So far, so good for Muskegon solar installations

As long as you can get the financing and some sunshine, it appears that solar power can be a good long-term investment.

According to the story in MLive:

One of the largest solar installations in Michigan went up on the Muskegon sailboat business' storage building roof last summer, and so far the results are positive, Torresen and the solar project's officials say.

"We learned a lot from the project," said Torresen co-owner Brian Torresen. "We have definitely found it feasible. If you can get financing, it's a no brainer."

The 150-kilowatt array of solar panels on Torresen's roof is financed and owned by Chart House Energy of Chicago. Chart House leases the roof from Torresen and used Inovateus Solar of South Bend, Ind., as a supplier of Scheuten Solar panels made in Germany.
