Speaker 4: Three zero three Martino. Now, this hour, by the way,
Speaker 4: is brought to you by Frank Durand the real estate man.
Speaker 4: You know, Frank made us so much money on our
Speaker 4: house in Castle Rock. I argued with him for just
Speaker 4: a second when he wanted to list the price I
Speaker 4: wanted for the house lower than what I thought we
Speaker 4: could get for it. But that's what created the bidding war.
Speaker 4: That was the first part of Frank's secret sauce. And
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, he got us more
Speaker 4: for that house in Red Hot, Colorado than any other
Speaker 4: of the exact same model in the neighborhood. He just
Speaker 4: killed it, and then he negotiated our new house in
Speaker 4: frank Town to a wonderful price. He's smart, he's good,
Speaker 4: and Frank Duran sells more homes in one month than
Speaker 4: most realators sell in Colorado. Check him out at Frank
Speaker 4: durand Holmes dot com. In studio with me Paul the
Speaker 4: water Man, we talk water at least once a month.
Speaker 4: It's so important. It's something we do all the time.
Speaker 4: Also Brook with Brooke White with Red Rocks rs Roofinsolar
Speaker 4: dot com. I got Deputy bow sitting across from me,
Speaker 4: Deputy Lemitri. We got Kelly answering your phones, and I
Speaker 4: believe I see Shannon back there running the board three
Speaker 4: zero three seven one three eight two five five, Paul,
Speaker 4: every time you come in studio, I look something up.
Speaker 4: Colorado still faces multiple, multiple water quality challenges. And we'll
Speaker 4: talk about, uh the forever chemicals, uh, the PFA s's
Speaker 4: or pfas. But I was reading here there's even leading
Speaker 4: some water. They're saying the rocky Ford area have some
Speaker 4: of the highest ratio levels in the nation, in the nation.
Speaker 4: Where does that come from?
Speaker 5: How?
Speaker 4: How why rocky Ford of all places?
Speaker 3: Do you have any idea?
Speaker 4: It's it's decayed rock. That's what it is. That's what
Speaker 4: radium is. What does it do to the human body
Speaker 4: when you ingest it? It can it can cause cancer
Speaker 4: you ingest it. It's also radium rate on gas. So
Speaker 4: it's basically water decaying rock. I mean rock, even when
Speaker 4: you break it down, is radioactive. They're all over the
Speaker 4: federal limits. They also say La hunta so in Swink.
Speaker 4: I have never heard of Swink, Colorado, but La Hunt
Speaker 4: Swink and rocky Ford have some of the highest levels
Speaker 4: exceeding the federal limits in the entire country. You know,
Speaker 4: the easiest way to remove a radium radium.
Speaker 6: A water softener, A water soft A water softener will
Speaker 6: remove that from the water supply.
Speaker 4: Just a softener, just a softener.
Speaker 6: Now, if you have radium rate on gas, now different
Speaker 6: radium and ra on or two different things, but radium
Speaker 6: is removed just by water softener.
Speaker 4: This is still amazing. I go on to read this.
Speaker 4: This is from a government website. Rocky Ford, Colorado specifically
Speaker 4: was identified as having the worst radium content in the nation. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's and that's new. This is all right new. And
Speaker 4: then the EPA, of course they're actively monitoring the pfas
Speaker 4: in the Colorado supply because they're going up for people
Speaker 4: that don't understand what pfas are. My saying that right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: p fis PfP fix. That was what I was looking for.
Speaker 4: So it's plastic and it's kind of crazy because it's.
Speaker 6: Forever chemical market. It's a forever chemical that's made from
Speaker 6: teflon production. And what it is is that it's something
Speaker 6: that's been going on since the nineteen seventies. The EPA
Speaker 6: started recognizing it based on lawsuits in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 6: So it's something that.
Speaker 4: This paper cardboard food packaging in other words, you know,
Speaker 4: take home containers, popcorn bags, pizza boxes, ready made cakes,
Speaker 4: nonstick cookwaar textiles, this one's interesting. Waterproof outdoor clothing and equipment, carpets, mattresses,
Speaker 4: what's that stuff we used to spray Scotch guard That
Speaker 4: must be literally pifis and a can.
Speaker 6: Well, the firefighters that have developed cancer is because of
Speaker 6: their suits coated with.
Speaker 4: Pifis, coded with it. Cosmetics meaning conditioners, foundation cream, sunscreen, electronics,
Speaker 4: virtually anything with plastics in it. It's everywhere. And the
Speaker 4: problem now is you want to get rid of it
Speaker 4: is best you can, and you can get rid of
Speaker 4: it in water. But we've talked about this, Paul, you
Speaker 4: eat a steak, the chances of that steak not having
Speaker 4: any pifis is almost impossible. Everything in the world.
Speaker 6: It's contaminate with pevas because they don't go away in microplastics,
Speaker 6: they go hand in hand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really ridiculous.
Speaker 6: This is not an easy fix. Our water problem is
Speaker 6: a generational issue. Is going to take generations to fix
Speaker 6: it because the contamination is so widespread and with pevas
Speaker 6: in microplastics. Fox News and Mother's Day did report that
Speaker 6: in your brain there's enough plastic in your brain to
Speaker 6: make up a plastic fork.
Speaker 4: I've always said that about Dmitri exactly that. I've always
Speaker 4: said there's enough plastic in his brain to make an
Speaker 4: entire spork.
Speaker 7: That explains a few things.
Speaker 4: Yes, no, it's crazy. So we're going to be talking
Speaker 4: about it. But people think water systems. When my wife
Speaker 4: thought of a water system, you know why she wanted it.
Speaker 4: It had nothing to do with any of the stuff
Speaker 4: we're talking about. It's the hair. All about the hair.
Speaker 4: We were in Louisiana and we were at a hotel,
Speaker 4: nice hotel, and she took a shower and got out
Speaker 4: and all I heard was, oh my god, this is
Speaker 4: the best water for my hair ever. And she went down.
Speaker 4: I didn't know this, but she literally talked to the
Speaker 4: management and wanted to figure out why the water was
Speaker 4: so good, and they're like, we have a certain softener here,
Speaker 4: and we have them in a lot of our chains.
Speaker 4: It was the war Waldorf and we have them and
Speaker 4: we put them in and people love them. And I
Speaker 4: ended up calling you, yes, sir, not long after, So thanks,
Speaker 4: thanks for that, Hilton Hilton Properties, thanks a lot for that. So,
Speaker 4: I mean, that's why she wanted it. We've had your
Speaker 4: system now, Paul, for my god, two years, maybe even longer.
Speaker 4: I really thought the maintenance was going to be an issue.
Speaker 4: You know, we're empty nesters. I put a bag of
Speaker 4: sault in. I buy the salt at Sam's Club. And
Speaker 4: the salt's like five bucks. Yep, it's forty pounds if
Speaker 4: I recall, maybe fifty and I just buy one. I
Speaker 4: bring it down there. I put it in there maybe
Speaker 4: every maybe every four is six months, And I probably
Speaker 4: could get away with less, quite frankly, because when I
Speaker 4: look down there, there's always salt in there.
Speaker 6: But two people don't use a lot of water, and
Speaker 6: the system is based on usage.
Speaker 4: And I've noticed a big time too. I will say this.
Speaker 4: During the winter, I tend to get a little irritated
Speaker 4: in my skin, and the water does seem a little
Speaker 4: uh kind of hate to use this word, but oily, slimy, slickery, slickery, Yeah,
Speaker 4: a little slimy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a little slimy.
Speaker 4: But it seems to help the skin.
Speaker 6: But well, you know what that is, that's your pores,
Speaker 6: that's your natural oils. What was causing dry skin was
Speaker 6: trapped soap got it. And so when I was at
Speaker 6: Tom's house, we did the washcloth test. We took you know,
Speaker 6: soft water rinsed to wash cloth, and he saw the
Speaker 6: trap soap come out.
Speaker 4: That's what happens. And so now your pores are opened up.
Speaker 8: So what happens to all that salt? Because I've noticed
Speaker 8: the water doesn't taste salty.
Speaker 4: Well, I was afraid of that too. It does zero
Speaker 4: to the flavor of our water. Dimitri it did absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4: And we're on a well, I mean, we've got we've
Speaker 4: got good water as far as I know.
Speaker 7: Where does the salt go?
Speaker 6: It's a chemical exchange, great question. So the salt is
Speaker 6: converted to a saline. The saline is a detergent. So
Speaker 6: then what happens is is hardness is calcium carbonate, and
Speaker 6: then you have sodium chloride. So then the sodium right
Speaker 6: in the carbonate state in the water that's baking soda.
Speaker 6: The calcium chloride go down the drain. So the calcium
Speaker 6: feeds the bacteria in the leech field.
Speaker 4: Literally that's the drain coming out of it, going into
Speaker 4: our main drain. That's it in the utility room. That's right.
Speaker 6: So it's not so you're not salt. Salt's not in
Speaker 6: the water. But when you separate it, because that's what
Speaker 6: Resin does. It separates, then you're basically the byproduct is
Speaker 6: baking soda.
Speaker 4: That's not all right, Listen, we got to take a break.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna come back Stefan, Lynn and whoever's on three.

Speaker 4: not resticking.
Speaker 11: No, it's a screws on.

Speaker 4: And how many screws are there?
Speaker 11: I don't know. I think there's only one.
Speaker 4: I would just get a locknut. And when you put
Speaker 4: the screw back in when it comes off, does it
Speaker 4: come all the way out?
Speaker 11: It does come all the way out, and it just
Speaker 11: hangs by, you know, just hangs there.
Speaker 4: I get not a locknut. What I meant was a lockwasher.

Speaker 4: Hey, what did you do prior? You just didn't have AC?
Speaker 15: Yeah, we didn't. We didn't have I had the house

Speaker 15: little what I like to call the R two D
Speaker 15: two units per room that you put in the.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're pretty yuch to house. Some of them were
Speaker 4: expensive to run, the older ones. You know what's interesting though,
Speaker 4: You must have had a furnace of course, and then
Speaker 4: you add all the duct works. So all you had
Speaker 4: to do is basically add the unit. Right.
Speaker 15: Yes, But the house, like I said, I had built
Speaker 15: twenty five years ago, and when they came out, I
Speaker 15: knew that we were gonna have to get a new
Speaker 15: for it. The system runs on the furnace, yep, so
Speaker 15: we're gonna have to a furnace as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4: exchanges and refunds. Two great guests today, Brook White, I'm
Speaker 4: going to talk to you now on some solar stuff.
Speaker 4: You know, we heard that solar credits. Since Trump's been
Speaker 4: in office, I don't know what's going on with grants
Speaker 4: solar tax credits. So I need you to kind of
Speaker 4: tell everybody where we're at there. If you get a
Speaker 4: solar system, now let's say it's residential, let's start with that, Brook,
Speaker 4: Is there still the federal tax credit is there a
Speaker 4: Colorado tax credit.
Speaker 16: Yeah, so the.
Speaker 12: Stanate of Colorado has never had a tax credit or
Speaker 12: tax benefits to do residential projects. They just do batteries.
Speaker 12: Right now, the federal tax credit is thirty percent, but
Speaker 12: it is right now up for debate.
Speaker 16: So whether or not that's going to.
Speaker 4: End end this year yep, right now. Would it end
Speaker 4: at the end of the year or could it end
Speaker 4: like in a week.
Speaker 16: No, it would.
Speaker 12: Stop being in effect December thirty first to twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: And I guess, oh, I see, unless they renew it.
Speaker 4: And I would assume, I would assume, like you have
Speaker 4: to have the system running by that time. It's got
Speaker 4: to be online.
Speaker 12: Yeah, the utility company has to accept the project. The
Speaker 12: tax credits right now for residential were set to expire
Speaker 12: in twenty thirty four. Trump in his first round had
Speaker 12: actually extended them, but the Congress has just passed a
Speaker 12: legislation to maybe end it this year. Okay, So it's
Speaker 12: just up for debate. So with that being said, that's
Speaker 12: up in the air exactly. So what that being said,
Speaker 12: if you wanted to do solar on your house, I
Speaker 12: would make sure that you had that plan done before
Speaker 12: July first, because you do have to have the utility
Speaker 12: company accept it, and that's a long process.
Speaker 4: So you got to get that order in if you
Speaker 4: want to make sure to get under exactly. Yeah, what's
Speaker 4: your gut say? Is a going away? What do you think?
Speaker 4: I have no idea.
Speaker 16: Yeah, who knows? As far as the commercial tax credits.
Speaker 4: Well, hold on, let's go back to the battery. Why
Speaker 4: does Colorado I don't understand. I guess you probably don't
Speaker 4: understand the logic either, But why isn't there a credit
Speaker 4: on the solar aspect of it? But there is on
Speaker 4: the battery. I don't get that.
Speaker 12: What I really appreciate about the State of Colorado is
Speaker 12: they're not going to give tax payer money and waste it.
Speaker 16: So instead of giving tax credits.
Speaker 12: What they do is they may the utility company give
Speaker 12: you retail value for the power you give them.
Speaker 16: So I think that makes a lot more sense. And
Speaker 16: it's a plan.
Speaker 4: And if you how does that work with the battery?
Speaker 13: Though?
Speaker 4: Where does that battery tie into this?
Speaker 12: So the reason the battery is getting additional benefits is
Speaker 12: because the state of Colorado wants to go one hundred
Speaker 12: percent electric by twenty forty one.
Speaker 16: Hundred percent renewable by twenty fifty.
Speaker 12: So in order to hit those goals, they need battery
Speaker 12: batteries exactly, And what does a battery Let's say a
Speaker 12: standard house, whatever that looks like these days?
Speaker 4: How big of Tell me? Does it look like a coffin?
Speaker 4: I mean, like how big is it? Yeah?
Speaker 12: So it's like two checked bags for the airport is
Speaker 12: about the size of one battery.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's pretty cool, and that would keep give me
Speaker 4: an example of what that would keep running. I mean,
Speaker 4: let's say you're off grid, you'd probably have a bigger battery, right.
Speaker 12: You would have a lot more batteries if you're going
Speaker 12: to or generate or something. Yeah, exactly, if you're going
Speaker 12: off grid, you need to have at least fifteen kilograss do.
Speaker 4: Those systems left and right? Don't you off grid?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 16: We do off grid system You generally.
Speaker 4: Put batteries in these, Like say someone's got a nice
Speaker 4: retreat in the mountains, a cabin and you know it's
Speaker 4: solar and they have a battery backup or is it
Speaker 4: generally a generator or what both?
Speaker 12: I would say most of the time, off grade systems
Speaker 12: are going to have a solar system.
Speaker 16: A battery and a generator.
Speaker 4: At three all three and you guys can do all
Speaker 4: that exactly to use Genera.
Speaker 16: Uh, we like Generaic. Absolutely, they're a great generator company.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 12: It just depends on what the homeowner's goals are and
Speaker 12: what they're looking to do.
Speaker 4: How about did a house though, so Highlands ranch, whatever,
Speaker 4: just a normal house. I get the size of the
Speaker 4: battery backup, they necessarily don't usually get a generator. Maybe
Speaker 4: they do, maybe they don't. But if they don't, and
Speaker 4: they lose power when those batteries kick on. So let's
Speaker 4: say they use lose utility power. How long do those
Speaker 4: two suitcase size batteries keep things going? I mean, in
Speaker 4: other words, the let's say you turn the air conditioner off,
Speaker 4: but other than the air condition I assume you can
Speaker 4: watch TV. Your refrigerators are running stuff like that.
Speaker 16: Yeah, absolutely, you can keep it running as long as
Speaker 16: daylight hits.
Speaker 12: Two batteries should be able to sustain you for indefinite
Speaker 12: amount of time. So as long as it's not blackout conditions,
Speaker 12: you know, every time the stuff comes up exactly yep,
Speaker 12: and so then overnight, you know, the batteries can definitely
Speaker 12: power the energy needs overnight until the sun comes back
Speaker 12: up the next day.
Speaker 4: Do people have the utility company charging the battery? So
Speaker 4: if it's like a cloudy for a week, I mean,
Speaker 4: just like a big blizzard something where the solar's not
Speaker 4: going to do anything, can you charge the batteries off
Speaker 4: the grid.
Speaker 16: Yeah, you can have it that way.
Speaker 12: It just depends on how you set up the software
Speaker 12: for the battery. So the battery is really cool where
Speaker 12: you can plug and play and do a variety of
Speaker 12: different things with it.
Speaker 4: Because I was taking with an electric car and I
Speaker 4: have one, in fact, we have two now, it would
Speaker 4: be pretty strange. You lose power and you know, you
Speaker 4: got to charge your car. I assume that battery would
Speaker 4: just transfer right over to the car and charge it.
Speaker 4: I mean I realized that's a lot of juice, but
Speaker 4: it could definitely charge it right.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Absolutely.
Speaker 12: It just depends on the battery capacity and if you
Speaker 12: can just plug the car in directly into that or
Speaker 12: if it would have to go through the main panel.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay, but you guys take care of all that.
Speaker 4: How about let's get right to it price wise, you
Speaker 4: guys on a standard system. My understanding from you is
Speaker 4: you're going to be pretty much anybody.
Speaker 16: Out there, I would say we're definitely middle of the road.
Speaker 12: We're definitely not on the high end, and by no
Speaker 12: means are we going to be the cheapest.
Speaker 16: I think the difference on us is that.
Speaker 12: Whatever we agree to is what we agree to, regardless
Speaker 12: of what might come up on the projects, and that
Speaker 12: we come out and we fix with you.
Speaker 4: You're not going to hit with a ten thousand dollars
Speaker 4: change order. You're going to get it done for.
Speaker 16: That original bit exactly.
Speaker 4: And then if it's supposed to be done at the
Speaker 4: end of August, and that's kind of a guarantee. And
Speaker 4: if it's not done at the end of August, you're
Speaker 4: going to pay the utility bills exactly. Yep. I would that
Speaker 4: actually happen.
Speaker 12: It's pretty rare that we have to take over those aspects.
Speaker 12: Most of the time. What happens is I build up
Speaker 12: relationships with clients, so we just pay for their electric
Speaker 12: bill until their system comes up and running.
Speaker 16: Anyways.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so.
Speaker 12: Before the six month time period, because I'm more about
Speaker 12: making sure folks are happy, and that's another thing that
Speaker 12: working with us. You know, we just had a client
Speaker 12: that we redid some electrical work for his garage. He
Speaker 12: asked for Hey, I forgot to add this, that and
Speaker 12: the other. We're already doing the work. I was like, yeap,
Speaker 12: that's not a big deal. That's half a day of labor,
Speaker 12: maybe a couple hundred dollars in materials.
Speaker 16: We'll just do it for you.
Speaker 4: Oh that's nice.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 12: So we we try really hard to avoid change orders
Speaker 12: because I'm more of the mindset of like taking care
Speaker 12: of your neighbor kind of mentality.
Speaker 4: Well, a lot of these companies in the solar industry,
Speaker 4: the big complaints we've gotten over the years is this,
Speaker 4: I bought it, I got a problem with it. I
Speaker 4: called the people that sold it to me, and they're
Speaker 4: pointing to this other company that did the installation. So
Speaker 4: the same and the installation arm are like entirely two
Speaker 4: different corporations all together, and they're doing the old pointing
Speaker 4: at each other, which is kind of insane. You guys
Speaker 4: are all in house.
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, and oftentimes we take over projects that previous
Speaker 12: installers have done. Like you said, the industry is kind
Speaker 12: of a mess, especially with I.
Speaker 4: Wonder why it started. I wonder how it got that way.
Speaker 4: I mean, like really, why did all these companies pop
Speaker 4: up where all they do is get a contract sign
Speaker 4: they literally knock on your door, or they sell it
Speaker 4: to you through costco or wherever. I mean, I'm just
Speaker 4: saying anywhere, And basically they get to sign contract. Then
Speaker 4: when they turn that sign contract in, they get paid
Speaker 4: whatever their sales commission is and then they're pretty much
Speaker 4: done onto the next sale. I mean, if there's any
Speaker 4: issue going forward, you really have nothing to do with
Speaker 4: that person that is the one that's hold it to you.
Speaker 4: Why do you think the industry ended up that way?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 12: So, the the sales folks actually don't get paid until
Speaker 12: the system's installed. Everything in solar works when the system
Speaker 12: gets installed, but installation doesn't mean that it's up and
Speaker 12: running right. There's a big difference between getting something on
Speaker 12: your roof and getting the utility company to accept.
Speaker 16: It and power on. So that's always where that disconnectre to.
Speaker 4: Say, a salesperson generally.
Speaker 16: Get paid right when it's installed, so.
Speaker 4: Not necessarily up producing power, but when it's on the
Speaker 4: roof or on the field or.
Speaker 16: Wherever, and that delay is the big issue.
Speaker 3: All right, listen, we're going to take a break.
Speaker 4: I got open lines three oh three seven one three
Speaker 4: eight two five five. On top of that, when we
Speaker 4: come back, we're going to be talking about what she
Speaker 4: does commercially. And we have listeners and lots of them
Speaker 4: that have had one hundred and twenty percent of their
Speaker 4: solar system paid for through grant money. It's a free
Speaker 4: solar system, and they're charging people that live in their
Speaker 4: properties electricity just like utilities, so they're making money off
Speaker 4: of it. Everybody holds tight.

Speaker 4: All right, three o three seven one three eight two
Speaker 4: five five three oh three Martino, we're gonna have three
Speaker 4: hours to go. Michael's got a question for Red Rocks
Speaker 4: roof and solar. Michael, what is your question?
Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, how are you?
Speaker 4: I'm great, Michael, how are you.
Speaker 13: Good?
Speaker 17: So we are My wife and I.
Speaker 5: We bought a house twelve years ago in uh snock
Speaker 5: On golf course. Yeah, and we put in a solar
Speaker 5: system and we leased it and it's gone through a
Speaker 5: few companies. I think now Tesla owns the paper.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 5: And the question is what we're getting.
Speaker 18: Ready to sell it?
Speaker 5: The political climate here has become too undigestible, so we're
Speaker 5: moving to Utah and selling the house.
Speaker 4: So the question is, yeah, how do you sell it
Speaker 4: with the leases?
Speaker 5: Sell the house? Yeah, the solar still has the lease.
Speaker 18: Ya do we sell the lease?
Speaker 17: I would say the house or separately.
Speaker 4: Well, a couple of things, and I'll let Brook talk.
Speaker 4: But one we can get Brad O'Brien on to look
Speaker 4: at the actual agreement for you. He's a real estate attorney.
Speaker 4: But I would say there's generally a buyout, right Brooke.
Speaker 4: I mean in the lease, like after an X amount
Speaker 4: and you could accelerate that then own the system. I
Speaker 4: mean every lease is a little different, but generally speaking,
Speaker 4: do you know the answer to that? Michael?
Speaker 3: Is there a buyout price on it.
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know, and the problem is that
Speaker 5: I've never heard of one without a Okay, well yeah
Speaker 5: that then there probably is one.
Speaker 4: So then you would buy it out or the new
Speaker 4: buyer would agree, just like they do with an HOA,
Speaker 4: they would agree that they're going to take over, but
Speaker 4: the solar company Tesla in this case might actually have
Speaker 4: to agree to have them on the hook instead of
Speaker 4: you guys. But Brooke, go ahead, Yeah.
Speaker 16: That's correct, Mark.
Speaker 12: So you can buy out the system and then you
Speaker 12: sell the house and the systems tied to that, or
Speaker 12: you have the new homeowners try to take over the lease. Now,
Speaker 12: the difference is that eventually that lease is going to
Speaker 12: be up, so twenty years or whatever that might be,
Speaker 12: if that residential tax credit goes away, and then the
Speaker 12: new homeowners no longer get thirty percent if they buy
Speaker 12: the system, and if they don't want to buy the system,
Speaker 12: then whoever owns the system or whoever they're leasing from
Speaker 12: will actually come out and repo the system, which will
Speaker 12: leave the roof and disarray. So in my opinion, I
Speaker 12: would buy the system and then you get the thirty
Speaker 12: percent tax credit, Michael, and that will make the house
Speaker 12: sale better and it won't leave any question marks for
Speaker 12: a potential buyer.
Speaker 4: Especially if you can use that tax credit this year.
Speaker 4: I mean, give me an idea. I mean, I can
Speaker 4: I actually know the neighborhood he's talking about, So I
Speaker 4: would assume that solar systems maybe I don't know, forty
Speaker 4: to fifty grand.
Speaker 16: Well, how long has it been in service? A while?
Speaker 5: It has, It's been twelve years.
Speaker 3: Does it work?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm curious on this. Here's a twelve year old system.
Speaker 4: I mean, does it generate most of your bill or
Speaker 4: fifty percent of it? Or I mean, give us a
Speaker 4: real give us a real take on how you like
Speaker 4: the solar system. Does it a least offset the least
Speaker 4: payment and then also pay for a little power?
Speaker 5: You know it does absolutely? You know, we would do
Speaker 5: it again, got it, but we didn't think we were
Speaker 5: going to sell. But yeah, I just I was thinking
Speaker 5: about that, and I'm like, well, who's gonna buy a
Speaker 5: least solar system?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Who would write a contract for that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know what I'm gonna do. I'm going to
Speaker 4: put you, Michael on hold. You don't need to stay though,
Speaker 4: just keep listening, because we've got a break coming up.
Speaker 4: But if you have any questions, I mean, you can
Speaker 4: leave Kelly your number and Brooke can reach you later on.
Speaker 4: But this is I wanted to bring this up, Brooke.
Speaker 4: If something like that broke and let's say they owned it,
Speaker 4: wasn't least and he said that thing's been turned over
Speaker 4: to two or three companies, possibly now it's Tesla. You
Speaker 4: guys can fix any solar system, right, I mean, if
Speaker 4: someone's got a broken panel or something, Let's pretend this
Speaker 4: guy owned it and the company he dealt with is
Speaker 4: out of business. You guys can fix that. And you've
Speaker 4: always told me if the panel's still under warranty, as
Speaker 4: long as you can get the warranty fulfilled by the
Speaker 4: manufacturer of the panel, you'll just charge the labor exactly.
Speaker 14: Ye.
Speaker 4: That's incredible. I love that deal. And then Michael, just
Speaker 4: so you know, the other thing is Kelly try to
Speaker 4: get Brad O'Brien on. I want to ask him if
Speaker 4: he's done any contracts on homes that have a solar
Speaker 4: kit on him or a solar system on him, because
Speaker 4: I'm kind of curious how that goes. The other thing
Speaker 4: we're going to dive into. I've already had two questions
Speaker 4: by text for water pros. Of course, the first one, Paul,
Speaker 4: is how much your system start at? Everybody does go
Speaker 4: right for the pricing on stuff, So I guess that
Speaker 4: all depends the point of use, Like if you only
Speaker 4: want to protect the kitchen sink, for example.
Speaker 6: Yeah, drinking water reverse house, Moses, is it starts at
Speaker 6: eleven installed.
Speaker 4: And that that's anything that comes out of that one tap,
Speaker 4: and then probably the refrigerator feed too, correct, okay, and
Speaker 4: then so your ice would be covered. But that's the
Speaker 4: only place you're going to drink water with that protection. Absolutely,
Speaker 4: that's it. And then how about a whole house system.
Speaker 4: Let's say you want what's the mac daddy these days?
Speaker 4: Like the one I bought from you was the softener,
Speaker 4: and it was about thirty five hundred.
Speaker 3: I want you to tell afterwards.
Speaker 4: I want to hear the true price, and I already
Speaker 4: have an idea if you're still doing the special. But
Speaker 4: this thing will get rid of the chlorine, It'll get
Speaker 4: rid of the p fase. Correct, it'll soften the water,
Speaker 4: which also gets rid of that rocky Ford radium. It
Speaker 4: gets rid of the radium. It's the all in wonder
Speaker 4: all in one and wait till you hear the price
Speaker 4: of that. Look we got lines open. I'd love to

Speaker 4: I want to go back to Paul the Waterman. You
Speaker 4: got a system. This system does what go ahead? We
Speaker 4: already talked about it. Paul the Waterman. I bought my
Speaker 4: water system from him. He's been with the show on
Speaker 4: the referral list for years. And years, But the bottom
Speaker 4: line is best for less. That's the way he puts it.
Speaker 4: You're going to get a system for up to i'd
Speaker 4: even say two thirds lower in some cases. I mean, like, really, Paul,
Speaker 4: it's crazy. So right now, there's a lot there's a
Speaker 4: lot of Shenanigans run the water bas That's what I
Speaker 4: was going to say.
Speaker 6: There is seems like some companies want to part water
Speaker 6: softeners like a price of reference air condition replacement.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they want Seriously, I'm not going to say the
Speaker 4: name of it because I've got some other people on
Speaker 4: the referral list that sell some of the systems. But
Speaker 4: we had a big argument one time about this particular
Speaker 4: brand that I don't even know how it works. It
Speaker 4: doesn't literally soften the water, but they call it a
Speaker 4: water softener and be because it was in a heating system,
Speaker 4: like a floor heating system, it ended up corroding and
Speaker 4: it just caused a lot of damage over a long
Speaker 4: period of time. And the system itself was I want
Speaker 4: to say it was fifteen thousand dollars. That's right, Yeah, there's.
Speaker 6: Fifteen thousand thousand, absolutely correct. So we have what's called
Speaker 6: the Echopromax. It's a multimedia uses KDF fifty five activated
Speaker 6: carbon in the top chamber, water softing resin in the bottom.
Speaker 6: That's going to remove the total chlorine content of forever chemicals.
Speaker 6: The p files give you soft water. It's back. The
Speaker 6: KDF fifty five is bacteria resistant smart computer system. And
Speaker 6: then you get rid of the p fobs, right, get
Speaker 6: rid of the total chlorine content, have soft water.
Speaker 4: So that basically important. And that stuff we were talking
Speaker 4: about in Rocky for that's right, radium and the reason
Speaker 4: it gets rid of that is a water softeners that's right.
Speaker 4: The resume re moves radium and baranium. How big is
Speaker 4: that system compared to like what you guys installed? My
Speaker 4: house is same size, same thing, same size, Okay, cool, yeah,
Speaker 4: same size.
Speaker 6: So right now, for you know, everybody that listens to
Speaker 6: this show, we'll do it for thirty six ninety five installed.
Speaker 4: That's unbelievable. Thirty six ninety five.
Speaker 6: Thirty six ninety five installed, and I know our competitors
Speaker 6: are twice or three times that amount just for a
Speaker 6: base water softener.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for for not even getting rid of the p fops.
Speaker 4: And that gets rid of it in every single room,
Speaker 4: every single that's not a point of use. No, it's
Speaker 4: a whole house, complete whole house. Yeah.
Speaker 6: And in the manufacturer right now is offering a limited
Speaker 6: lifetime warranty with this product. So the filter media, you know,
Speaker 6: have a ten to twelve year lifespan, so you're not
Speaker 6: having recurring revenue replacing any of the filtration media. It's
Speaker 6: just you know, using the watersofting salt, which is the determed.
Speaker 4: Got you into this man? When I hear you and
Speaker 4: people can't understand this unless you know Paul off Air.
Speaker 4: He'll call me up literally when an article comes out
Speaker 4: about a certain reservoir somewhere that they found this or
Speaker 4: that in it.
Speaker 3: It's really nuts.
Speaker 4: When I say he lives and breathes what he does,
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding now, granted, he's probably not very fun
Speaker 4: at a party. You heard him just describe that system.
Speaker 4: It sounded more like a Ferrari or something. It's got,
Speaker 4: you know, eight hundred horsepower in a two farb fiber
Speaker 4: carbons something something something. But he lives and breezes and
Speaker 4: what the hell got you into it? Like, did you
Speaker 4: know someone that got sick from water?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 13: So?
Speaker 4: Back in the day, in the early nineties, I got
Speaker 4: out of college. I was selling pointed sales software, you know,
Speaker 4: the computers, the three eighty six to four quick books whatever, right, okay,
Speaker 4: And it was like nobody wanted to learn, and it
Speaker 4: was it was a drag. So I went to a
Speaker 4: gentleman that was selling water softer that gave him my
Speaker 4: spiel and he said, okay, he gave you a shot.
Speaker 6: That's right, And I fell in love with it. And
Speaker 6: then after doing research and studying the water quality, you know,
Speaker 6: you learn so much. The thing that scares me, to
Speaker 6: be very candid with you, is, I truly don't believe
Speaker 6: that white now our water is safe for human consumption
Speaker 6: because of all the contaminants.
Speaker 4: What was that city where a people there was lead
Speaker 4: all over the place and they kind to Michigan yet flats. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and the FEDS covered it up, the local government covered
Speaker 4: it up. In fact, my understanding is till this day
Speaker 4: it's still messed up. I'll tell you what they're covering up.
Speaker 6: Pharmaceuticals right now, because it's an unregistered contaminant.
Speaker 4: If you what is having an unregistered Oh, because it's
Speaker 4: in our urine, it's in our I read that I heard.
Speaker 4: If you went and tested in certain bodies of water,
Speaker 4: certain water systems. You would find opiates, you would find
Speaker 4: cocaine as literally all this stuff passes right into the water.
Speaker 6: So the EPA, if it's an unregistered contaminant, then local
Speaker 6: municipalities don't have to test for it. It's not monitored,
Speaker 6: but the EPA does. For example, one four dioxin is
Speaker 6: a carcinogen that has been in the water supply since
Speaker 6: eighteen nineties, and yet it's still unregulated contaminant because it's
Speaker 6: in our shops and shampoops.
Speaker 4: How about stuff like in the mines we have in Colorado.
Speaker 4: You know, I go up and play poker occasionally and
Speaker 4: there's all these old mines. I don't know what they mind.
Speaker 4: I'm sure some are gold, but they mined a lot
Speaker 4: more than that. I heard one of them had a
Speaker 4: big leak a while back. You get it contaminated all
Speaker 4: the water around it.
Speaker 6: That's right, and you can you can there's uranium that
Speaker 6: can that's this huge problem. We have natural fluoride that's
Speaker 6: an issue in Colorado, especially in the foothills. So you know,
Speaker 6: those are contaminants that are regulated, Those are contaminants that
Speaker 6: have EPA standards, But you know p files. For example,
Speaker 6: Mark was was a contamination that was happening.
Speaker 4: They didn't even know about it. They did, they knew
Speaker 4: about it, but they covered it up.
Speaker 6: DuPont and Threem covered it up, and then the EPA
Speaker 6: knew about it in the nineties because there were lawsuits,
Speaker 6: but we didn't know about it because they kept it
Speaker 6: under wraps. There's whole communities in North Carolina that you know,
Speaker 6: the du Pond and three M have to provide residents
Speaker 6: free reverse hosmosis units because the water is still continued
Speaker 6: to this day.
Speaker 4: So what's the worst in Colorado that you know of?
Speaker 4: It's the p files in the no no I mean
Speaker 4: the worst municipality or the worst whatever aquaif for. I
Speaker 4: don't know the worst.
Speaker 6: So I think, all right, castle Rock it scares me
Speaker 6: because they're at thirty five percent reusable water. I don't
Speaker 6: think they've done the science to realize, well, what.
Speaker 4: Does that mean? So everything? Thirty five? Wait a minute,
Speaker 4: wait a minute, so thirty five tell me if I
Speaker 4: say this right, thirty five percent of what you drink
Speaker 4: in Castle Rock from your house or business from a
Speaker 4: tap is the same thing we flush down the toilet
Speaker 4: correct after it's been treated.
Speaker 6: Well, it's the only thing they do to treat it
Speaker 6: is remove the bio solids, which is the solid waste. Yeah,
Speaker 6: then they inject it with a whole bunch of catcher
Speaker 6: causing disinfecting agents and give it right back to us.
Speaker 4: Well, so they basically bleach it up. If that's it,
Speaker 4: that's it. And then is that where a lot of
Speaker 4: the chlorine comes from? Is because you're treating it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they use a chloromine, so they mixed ammonia with
Speaker 6: it becausechlorine by itself would dissipate, so when you had
Speaker 6: the ammonia to it, it stays, it doesn't go away,
Speaker 6: It builds up in the hot water heater.
Speaker 4: So they get rid of the solids. I can picture
Speaker 4: that just like a like at my house. You know,
Speaker 4: we're on a septic sis, the same same setup, exact
Speaker 4: same thing. So they get rid of it. Then the
Speaker 4: other ones kind of everything else kind of floats to
Speaker 4: the leech field. What do they do with that stuff?
Speaker 6: So it'd be that same setup in your house, right,
Speaker 6: it's the leechfield water that would go back into the
Speaker 6: public heavily bleached.
Speaker 4: So that's okay. And then a lot of that though
Speaker 4: with the with the PI files, because there's going to
Speaker 4: be p FI. They don't treat for p files. I
Speaker 4: can't treat for prefis.
Speaker 6: That's why the EPA right now extended the deadline because
Speaker 6: manufact the water treatment.
Speaker 4: But wait, wait, here's what I'm getting to. So when
Speaker 4: that goes into what we're calling the leech field or
Speaker 4: in Castle Rock, back into the drinking water system, that
Speaker 4: it doesn't get rid of those right, and then I
Speaker 4: assume some of that probably seeps back down into the ground. Correct,
Speaker 4: it eventually gets used. Yet again, that's right.
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying is they haven't done the science
Speaker 6: to see what the contamination levels increase in pharmaceuticals. If
Speaker 6: pharmaceuticals aren't tested, how do you know then what the
Speaker 6: byproduct is when you go to reusable water.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. Hold on, we got to take a break,
Speaker 4: and once again, you want to get that system. Pauls them.
Speaker 4: Man I bought mine from him and there was no

Speaker 4: bad mechanic, bad contractor bad Dennis, you get the idea
Speaker 4: freeze zero three Martino, you can get through right now. Art,
Speaker 4: I'll come to you right after this, expert. Hey, Brad O'Brien,
Speaker 4: how are you doing today, Sir Mark, I'm doing great. Man, Hey,
Speaker 4: have you seen and if so, what did you learn
Speaker 4: and how to get around it? The best way. When
Speaker 4: someone sells a house that has a solar system on
Speaker 4: it that is connected to at lease on the system,
Speaker 4: have you dealt with anything like this?
Speaker 19: Sure? Normally that would be assigned by the seller and
Speaker 19: assumed by the buyer, and they would a closing. There
Speaker 19: would be like a one page document take care of that.
Speaker 19: The solar company might even have the form for the
Speaker 19: parties to use.
Speaker 4: So the solar company generally, like a mortgage company, generally,
Speaker 4: isn't going to step in and go, hey, we're not
Speaker 4: going to allow this other person to take it over
Speaker 4: because you know their credit score is not as high
Speaker 4: as yours. In other words, it should be pretty straightforward.
Speaker 19: I don't think there normally is a credit check or
Speaker 19: income qualification on a buyer's assuming it's just assumable.
Speaker 4: So the original agreement is basically assumable. It's more of
Speaker 4: on the property than it is with the purchaser or
Speaker 4: the buyer normally it would be.
Speaker 19: But of course you have to look at the actual
Speaker 19: rental agreement. Yeah, see what the provisions are for assignment
Speaker 19: assumption and make sure you follow those. For instance, there's
Speaker 19: probably a notice provision you have to give notice the
Speaker 19: house its own.
Speaker 4: You know what's interesting, Brad, you made me think of something.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen these, but Brooke brook White,
Speaker 4: she owns red rocks, roof and solars sitting next to
Speaker 4: me a guest in like you are all the time,
Speaker 4: and she's got to deal with government grants. We've had
Speaker 4: people that have actually owned duplexes and quad plexes or
Speaker 4: you know, commercial property and they rent it out. They
Speaker 4: go in there, they put a solar system in. Remember
Speaker 4: it's got to be commercial in this case, and with
Speaker 4: the grant money have gotten one hundred and twenty percent
Speaker 4: of it paid for, so it's basically free. But then
Speaker 4: they charge their tenants, right Brooke, I mean the landlord
Speaker 4: at that point will charge their tenants for the power
Speaker 4: they used, just like a electric company, so they actually
Speaker 4: make money on that. They got the solar system paid for,
Speaker 4: and then they charged the tenants for the electricity. Right.
Speaker 12: Yeah, depending on where you're at, you can either charge
Speaker 12: them directly for the or you can just increase overall
Speaker 12: rent to have that benefit.
Speaker 4: So the Brad, the reason I said that to you is,
Speaker 4: how would you if you were a landlord and all
Speaker 4: of a sudden, now you're the utility. You would probably
Speaker 4: have to go back in and redo the lease, or
Speaker 4: probably not, just because you know, I guess if they
Speaker 4: went from Excel to somebody else, you wouldn't have to
Speaker 4: change anything in the lease.
Speaker 19: I'm not aware that the utilities are acting as less ors.
Speaker 19: I think it's third parties for are doing that go ahead.
Speaker 19: Typically the buyers take it over, take over the payments.
Speaker 8: Hey, Brad, of these assumable leases that you've worked on,
Speaker 8: did you find that the original that the original I
Speaker 8: guess signer to the least the apbolic gore who's now
Speaker 8: selling the house. Does this person remain on the hook
Speaker 8: in case the new owner defaults like a timeshare.
Speaker 19: Well, you have to go to the actual language of
Speaker 19: the of the lease agreement to see if if the
Speaker 19: lease is assumable I mean assignable, and if in that
Speaker 19: case the seller gets released from it, personally released from
Speaker 19: their liability. You'd expect that to happen, but get to
Speaker 19: look at the actual agreement. Now, even if the agreement
Speaker 19: doesn't have that, you could still have the the less
Speaker 19: the the renting company sign the content that the seller
Speaker 19: is released.
Speaker 4: Hey, Brad, have you dealt with any cases with solar
Speaker 4: where someone wants solar but like an HOA or someone
Speaker 4: doesn't want to allow him to have it.
Speaker 19: I've seen pushback of course Kaiawa. The HOA Statute provides
Speaker 19: that HOA cannot prohibit solar arrays.
Speaker 13: But they have some disc.
Speaker 19: To you know, cut for cosmetic purposes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't want a big, bad and nasty Yeah, to.
Speaker 19: Make it maybe not visible from the street. But it's
Speaker 19: really hard for them to even do that.
Speaker 4: Hey, Brad, I really do appreciate it, man, Everybody out there.

Speaker 4: What did your what did your dad pay for it?

Speaker 14: shipping box within a box to protect it. And all
Speaker 14: I had to do was take it to the shipper.

Speaker 14: means if there's a loss.
Speaker 4: They are you do you still have possession of this watch?

Speaker 20: show up, put this watch in it and bring it anywhere.

Speaker 8: This kind of a watch, somebody's going to come out
Speaker 8: from a reputable auction house. Someone will come out, pick
Speaker 8: it up, give you a receipt, and they'll fly back

Speaker 4: I just need to ask you really quick. It's got
Speaker 4: nothing to do with this guy. Art calls up. He's
Speaker 4: an older guy, okay, and he's got to watch that
Speaker 4: apparently is worth quarter million plus. It's a what is
Speaker 4: it called d.
Speaker 8: It's uh, it's autumn. It's a Swiss autumn Mars. And
Speaker 8: the second word is it's spelled piage but he pronounced
Speaker 8: like picquets.
Speaker 4: But it's it's like a see through watch. It's over
Speaker 4: one hundred years old. Everything we're seeing, You know, this
Speaker 4: thing could be worth anywhere from one hundred to half
Speaker 4: a million dollars. Okay, but it's got nothing. It's got
Speaker 4: I'm not asking you what the value of it is.
Speaker 4: He needs to sell it. So when you deal with
Speaker 4: something that's very expensive, and I know you deal with
Speaker 4: some coins that are absolutely insane, how does that typically
Speaker 4: work if you want to get to an auction with it?
Speaker 4: I mean, he had one guy reach out to him
Speaker 4: and say, Hey, I'm going to send you a box.
Speaker 4: Just put it in the box and I pre labeled
Speaker 4: it and you don't even have to know. Yeah, that's

Speaker 4: out there and need some help, now's a great time
Speaker 4: to call. Three zero three seven one three eight two
Speaker 4: five five. I also have two referral list members and
Speaker 4: I really like a lot, Paul Doubting and Brook White.
Speaker 4: Brook White is Red Rock solar or roofing in solar
Speaker 4: and Paul doubting is water pros. They're just great people,
Speaker 4: a wealth of knowledge. They're both hard workers and that's
Speaker 4: what I really like. In fact, I'm going to tell
Speaker 4: you something about Brook. Brook is amazing when it comes
Speaker 4: to solar. She started a company that has done so
Speaker 4: well in Colorado. It's crazy. It doesn't matter commercial or residential,
Speaker 4: anything solar. They can repair old systems because the company
Speaker 4: you bought it from went out of business. In fact,
Speaker 4: we've had callers call in and say, not only did
Speaker 4: she come out and repair our system, but she informed
Speaker 4: us that part of it was under warranty from the
Speaker 4: manufacturer and she got that paid for. I mean, that's
Speaker 4: amazing and just charges labor on it. But here's what
Speaker 4: I love everything about Brook. But here's what amazes me.
Speaker 4: Anytime I call up, just like when I need an expert,
Speaker 4: an attorney, or a water expert like Paul. During the show,
Speaker 4: I'll say, Hey, Kelly, get on our solar expert Brook.
Speaker 4: Every time, because of the time of the show, I
Speaker 4: assume she's on a roof not only is she the
Speaker 4: owner and has salespeople. I'll be like, she'll be on
Speaker 4: the air and I'm hearing Hey, I'm like, Brook, where
Speaker 4: are you at? She's like, Oh, I'm up on a roof.
Speaker 4: I mean, not only is she the owner, but you've
Speaker 4: done every part. You've done sales, you've done installation, you've
Speaker 4: done repairs, you've worked with Excel, You've done every aspect
Speaker 4: of your business.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Absolutely, that's the only way you know how it's going
Speaker 16: to get done.
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 4: I love it. She literally learned the solar business top
Speaker 4: to bottom. What is your favorite if you could only
Speaker 4: choose one role? Okay, let's say you know whatever, you
Speaker 4: could only choose one role, would it be sales? Would
Speaker 4: it be like troubleshooting people's problems with old systems? Would
Speaker 4: it be installation of a new residential system? Or an
Speaker 4: array like in a field, a commercial array. What if
Speaker 4: you could only do one thing day to day in
Speaker 4: solar what would it be?
Speaker 16: Definitely solar fields.
Speaker 12: And the reason being is that it creates the community
Speaker 12: to become the utility company, so the community actually makes
Speaker 12: money off of it, and the folks within that community
Speaker 12: have about half or less of their electric bill, so
Speaker 12: everybody saves. Plus they're just really cool intricate projects.
Speaker 4: So when you have an array, explain that a little bit.
Speaker 4: You told me about one. You have a around Cripple Creek.
Speaker 4: Did I get that right?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 16: Cripple Creeky.
Speaker 4: So you know somebody up there, do they actually have
Speaker 4: an array or they have the land that is ready
Speaker 4: to have an array built.
Speaker 12: So we're doing that project there. Okay, they have the land,
Speaker 12: we've got the contracts, we're working with Black Helse get
Speaker 12: everything through.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 12: Because of that, the family that owns the land and
Speaker 12: is doing the project, they're going to make generational wealth
Speaker 12: on this and the community of Cripple Creek itself, their
Speaker 12: utility bill has been going to be permanently cut in half.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 4: And here's the part I didn't understand till I met you.
Speaker 4: When someone does an array like that in a community,
Speaker 4: is that literally with the municipality the city you.
Speaker 12: It depends on how you tie it together, but yeah,
Speaker 12: absolutely the municipality can be.
Speaker 16: Part of that.
Speaker 4: And then so these people are going to create this
Speaker 4: huge array on their land. How big is this one
Speaker 4: going to be?
Speaker 13: Like?
Speaker 4: How many panels?
Speaker 16: Roughly it's a five megoat system.
Speaker 4: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 16: A lot of acres.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of acre.
Speaker 4: Oh so it's huge.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's a big field.
Speaker 4: So it's going to generate a ton And part of
Speaker 4: the reason you get grant money. Now, this part's incredible.
Speaker 4: How much out of pocket if all the grant money
Speaker 4: comes true and everything goes the way you think it's
Speaker 4: going to go, how much eventually out of pocket will
Speaker 4: be on this solar system.
Speaker 16: Nothing.
Speaker 12: The family's actually going to make forty percent of the
Speaker 12: project with the grants and the tax credits that they have.
Speaker 4: Think about that, But Paul, with the grants and tax credits,
Speaker 4: they get this array for free when it's all said
Speaker 4: and done. Now, the bad news for people listening is
Speaker 4: you got to have that money up front to fund
Speaker 4: the whole project. Then when it's done, then when it's online,
Speaker 4: she goes out and grabs you the grant money. And
Speaker 4: we have tons of listeners that have done it. So
Speaker 4: then the whole thing's paid for. And the reason there's
Speaker 4: grant money. Do you know why there's grant money? Nothing
Speaker 4: to do with the green news steel anymore, nothing to
Speaker 4: do with that. And I didn't realize this. The reason
Speaker 4: a lot of these communities and even the Feds have
Speaker 4: grant money is because you have to offer your life
Speaker 4: electricity because now you're an electric company for less than
Speaker 4: what the utility sells it for. Right, isn't there a minimum?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 16: Absolutely. So there's a twofold thing.
Speaker 12: The first one is you're getting power to folks more
Speaker 12: reliably that are in communities that have struggled, whether that's
Speaker 12: just because of you know, in cripple crickets mountains, it's
Speaker 12: hard for that infrastructure to exist, yeah, or whatever else is.
Speaker 16: Going to it's old.
Speaker 12: And then the second piece is exactly like what you said,
Speaker 12: it's offering folks another option.
Speaker 4: To compete with that bad power if you will.
Speaker 12: In that case, yeah, utility companies and railroads are the
Speaker 12: only monopolies left in the US. Right, you don't have
Speaker 12: an option on what you can do, at least in
Speaker 12: the state of Colorado.
Speaker 16: For who you get power through.
Speaker 4: Yes see, So think about that. So now you get
Speaker 4: the system eventually for free, you get all your money
Speaker 4: back on the infrastructure, it's up and running. You are
Speaker 4: now competing directly with who is it up there is
Speaker 4: in Black Hills? Who is it Black Kills? So now
Speaker 4: you're completely giving everybody there an option even the commercial
Speaker 4: people like those casinos. Isn't that a little casino town.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, it's a big casino town. So that system
Speaker 12: is going to power the entire town.
Speaker 4: So but I'm saying so the casinos can literally say
Speaker 4: we don't want Black Hills anymore. And the reason they
Speaker 4: would do it, and I'm talking to Paul the waterman,
Speaker 4: the reason they would do it is they save a
Speaker 4: minimum of what fifty fifty percent? So if they're electric
Speaker 4: bills whatever, twenty thousand a month, now they're a ten
Speaker 4: thousand a month yep. So it's a win win win.
Speaker 4: You get a free system, you get that money.
Speaker 6: It's insane, man, How long in that utility, the original investment?
Speaker 4: How long does it take for them to get their
Speaker 4: money back? Yeah? When is it up? In this particular one,
Speaker 4: When would you guess it's up and running? With checks
Speaker 4: coming in from the grant money? How much is going
Speaker 4: to be outlaid if you don't mind a million, two million,
Speaker 4: five million, ten million?
Speaker 16: How does it all work?
Speaker 12: So, because it's a commercial tax credit, they're able to
Speaker 12: access those tax credits immediately.
Speaker 16: So based on how we organize it, they're actually.
Speaker 12: Never out of pocket because the grant that we're using
Speaker 12: funds with the project.
Speaker 16: It's a match. It's not. After the project's up and running.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of pocket expense for the for the landowner.
Speaker 12: They started with a five percent out of pocket, but
Speaker 12: they received that immediately back on tax credits. So there
Speaker 12: it's like a thirty day delay.
Speaker 4: Now I ask this, So let's say, how many tax
Speaker 4: credits do you think the whole thing will get at
Speaker 4: the end.
Speaker 12: Ninety four percent of the projects covered with tax credits.
Speaker 4: Okay, so now you're going to go listen, if you're
Speaker 4: if you're smart, and people listening going, well, my god,
Speaker 4: that's going to be what is that five million dollars
Speaker 4: in tax credits?
Speaker 16: Close to fourteen million?
Speaker 4: Fourteen million in tax credits. Most people are going to go,
Speaker 4: I would never spend fourteen million dollars on taxes in
Speaker 4: my life. I simply don't make that. I got all
Speaker 4: this upfront money to start and array because I own
Speaker 4: the property and basically maybe my pair has passed away
Speaker 4: and left me some money, but I'll never use those
Speaker 4: tax credits. Right in the tax credit, that's exactly what
Speaker 4: it is. It offsets taxes. You, So listen to this
Speaker 4: tell them.
Speaker 16: Brook, you can sell your tax credit.
Speaker 4: You can sell your tax credit.
Speaker 16: Yep, you can sell your taxes.
Speaker 3: It's almost like an auction now.
Speaker 4: For them and big corporations, not just big corporations, people
Speaker 4: that got big taxes. So do they do they? They
Speaker 4: say pennies on what seventy five?
Speaker 16: There you get seventy cents on the dollar.
Speaker 14: Yep.
Speaker 4: So the person that buys them, think about it. The
Speaker 4: person that buys them is saving thirty percent on their taxes. Wow.
Speaker 12: And then on top of it, the utility company also
Speaker 12: wins because the state of Colorado just passed legislation that
Speaker 12: they have to have so much of their infrastructure supported
Speaker 12: by solar system production as well.
Speaker 4: It is such a win win. The important part is
Speaker 4: when you go into something like this, your team up
Speaker 4: with someone like Brooke who knows what the hell they're doing.
Speaker 4: Not only that they know how to build the array,
Speaker 4: but more importantly, she knows how to get the money.
Speaker 4: That's the most important. I always say in your spots
Speaker 4: when I do them for you, Brook's got a nose
Speaker 4: for smelling the money. What about it? And it's true,
Speaker 4: what about snow?
Speaker 6: I mean, do you have to go out there if
Speaker 6: you know it's going to snow in the mountain, snow
Speaker 6: could cover the solar panels. I mean, do you have
Speaker 6: to keep track of that or does the sun melt
Speaker 6: the snow off?
Speaker 4: I mean, great question.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it is so with a solar field, they're all
Speaker 12: ground mounts. So you could have somebody if you're getting
Speaker 12: like a I don't know, four foot thing of snow,
Speaker 12: come out and just take a broom and brush through
Speaker 12: the acres. But they're solar panels that are angled and
Speaker 12: they're above ground to a certain extent, so you'd have
Speaker 12: to have like a very big amount of snow to
Speaker 12: totally block I mean you're talking like ten feet of snow
Speaker 12: if something like that.
Speaker 4: Actually, do the panels themselves move or no? Do they
Speaker 4: follow the sun or their stationary You can have.
Speaker 16: Them follow the sun.
Speaker 12: I prefer stationary because the more moving parts you have,
Speaker 12: the more break exactly. And if you do bifacial panels,
Speaker 12: which means at the front and the back of the
Speaker 12: panels absorb and do the production aspect of it, you're
Speaker 12: really not gaining much by having the tracking versus having
Speaker 12: it bifacial.
Speaker 4: Well, they just a big array like that feedback to
Speaker 4: the grid. In other words, if all the casinos and
Speaker 4: homes aren't using all the power it.
Speaker 16: Generates, absolutely back to the grid.
Speaker 4: And they pay for it.
Speaker 16: Yep, it's a retail value.
Speaker 4: You can't look so it's insane.
Speaker 8: The example that you just cited, roughly speaking, once it's online,
Speaker 8: roughly speaking, what is the monthly revenue for the electricity sales?
Speaker 8: And the second part of my question is, roughly speaking,
Speaker 8: what is the annual deterioration rate and production capacity of
Speaker 8: this system?
Speaker 4: The appreciation that's what he.
Speaker 8: Say, like the actual degradation and power generating capacity.
Speaker 12: Absolutely so the solar panels them, that's a solar panel part.
Speaker 12: They are warranty to do a point zero two five
Speaker 12: percent degradation annually. So it's very minimal what your production
Speaker 12: degradation is going to go down by.
Speaker 16: And I always say check the National Renewable Energy Lab
Speaker 16: n r e L.
Speaker 12: You can put in your details on your address, your
Speaker 12: system size, and it will give you an accurate description
Speaker 12: of what your system should produce. Because you don't want
Speaker 12: to trust a salesperson they're going to tell you it's
Speaker 12: going to produce a ton.
Speaker 8: Roughly speaking, what would what would that person get every
Speaker 8: month from the power company after selling them the power.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 12: So for the project that we're talking about, I mean
Speaker 12: it's over the lifespan of the system.
Speaker 16: You're talking about one hundred and twenty million that these
Speaker 16: folks are going to make.
Speaker 3: What's how many years?
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's based.
Speaker 4: On the years forty years, twenty years.
Speaker 16: Because for a project like a million a.
Speaker 12: Year, it's a twenty twenty year contract with a utility company.
Speaker 12: At your twenty one, you just renegotiate that contract.
Speaker 4: Because or sell it or whatever.
Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: So I'm telling you the problem is getting into something
Speaker 4: like this. You got to have the money in the
Speaker 4: first place, and the land, yeah, or the credit to
Speaker 4: get everything put together right, And the land's a big one.
Speaker 12: I mean, the land is easy to do because you
Speaker 12: can add the purchase of the land to the solar
Speaker 12: agreement and then get the tax credits on that.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, So then in theory you could buy
Speaker 6: land with no money.
Speaker 4: Yes, oh yeah, that's true. Listen to that.
Speaker 16: Yeah, your issue is having tax credits.
Speaker 4: There's a place up and coming, Like if I wanted
Speaker 4: to get five people together and do something huge like this,
Speaker 4: because I know certain areas it just wouldn't matter. For example,
Speaker 4: way out in Kiowa, I can't imagine you would do
Speaker 4: something like this because it's just too far away or what.
Speaker 12: No, Actually, far away is better because you get more
Speaker 12: tax credits because of that.
Speaker 16: You want to do so.
Speaker 12: In Colorado, anything down south is usually considered anything.
Speaker 4: All right, hold on, hold on, let me take this
Speaker 4: break now. I'm like, my brain is my cash register
Speaker 4: and my brain is ticking it literally is everybody hold tight?
Speaker 4: We got a couple of lines open in Tammy, I
Speaker 4: promise you I will get to you in fact real quick.
Speaker 4: What is the problem with roofing, Tammy? Did the roofers
Speaker 4: show up not show up? A bad job? Give me
Speaker 4: the basics really fast, okay.
Speaker 22: Really fast. In twenty eleven, my roof was replaced by
Speaker 22: a rioting company. They did a fine job, okay, but
Speaker 22: they put on a malarkey roof, which is a fifty
Speaker 22: year warranty.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 22: I found out last year when I went to change
Speaker 22: my gutters to make them bigger, because yeah, I know,
Speaker 22: ye hie. Well, I found out last year that my
Speaker 22: singles are degraded to the point where you can't even
Speaker 22: tell if I ever had hail damage or not.
Speaker 4: I got you as malarkey is. The manufacturers still around her.
Speaker 4: They had of business, they are.
Speaker 22: Still They're huge.
Speaker 4: All right, hold on, hold on, now, I get the
Speaker 4: idea of it, and I've got the perfect guy I
Speaker 4: can ask how to get a warranty through that company.
Speaker 4: Plus we'll finish up that call. Everybody hanged tight. And
Speaker 4: by the way, redrocksars dot com is Brooks website. And

Speaker 4: And in fact, it's kind of funny just going around
Speaker 4: the table. Everybody's pretty uh happy. Hey, I do have
Speaker 4: an expert, dough Tammy, I have our expert. Henry Brett's
Speaker 4: listening in right now. So isn't it Henry, Yeah, you
Speaker 4: had a malarkey roof installed ten years ago. Roughly, no,
Speaker 4: fourteen years.
Speaker 22: Ago, I think, yeah, twenty eleven.
Speaker 4: So in twenty eleven you had it, and it's degraded
Speaker 4: to the point where I assume it's an asphalt roof, right, yeah,
Speaker 4: so there's no more granules.
Speaker 22: And the granules are.
Speaker 3: Gone, so it's just wear and tear.
Speaker 4: And it had a fifty year apparently it's covered for
Speaker 4: fifty years the materials, right, that's.
Speaker 22: What it said. So when I found out, just so
Speaker 22: you know, when I found out last year, of course,
Speaker 22: you know, I got on their website. They do it
Speaker 22: by you know, an inkerment, So you're one hundred percent
Speaker 22: insured for so long, then you're less insured. Let's insured.
Speaker 14: Less insured.
Speaker 22: Never was at fifty, I mean it would have never
Speaker 22: been fifty. But when I got online last year, I
Speaker 22: was still under the fifteen year mark where they said
Speaker 22: that it was still one hundred percent covered.
Speaker 4: So where are we at now? Have you called up?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 22: I tried calling a million people last year?
Speaker 23: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Well, like, who have you called? If you called the manufacturer?
Speaker 4: Is it really called malarkey? Am I crazy? Isn't that
Speaker 4: what Joe Biden says all the time? Oh that's malarkey,
Speaker 4: that is Yeah, but that's got to be the worst name.
Speaker 4: I would never buy a malarkey roof. Yeah, it's literally
Speaker 4: called malarkey.
Speaker 22: Well, yeah, malarkey.
Speaker 4: That's the almost thing I have ever heard.
Speaker 22: And of course I didn't care about that word back then.
Speaker 22: I mean you know I didn't. We didn't have somebody
Speaker 22: ruined in our country back then, well we didn't have
Speaker 22: Biden doing it. But anyway, that being said, Yeah, I
Speaker 22: called and called. I left messages because every time I would,
Speaker 22: I would get a number.
Speaker 4: Was hit a number on malarkey?
Speaker 24: Right, yeah with ma.
Speaker 3: Did you ever get let me.
Speaker 4: Speed you up a little tammy? Did you ever get
Speaker 4: through to him?
Speaker 18: No?
Speaker 22: So I had a guy come by the other day,
Speaker 22: the walk up guy, And because I knew about this issue,
Speaker 22: I had him. I told him the story, and he said, oh, no,
Speaker 22: we can get that thing care of. And then he
Speaker 22: finds out that it's not one hundred percent covered anymore.
Speaker 22: They've changed their warranty, which you know, if you look,
Speaker 22: I have the warrant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why you said it was within that fifteen
Speaker 4: year period. But you actually have the warranty. What is
Speaker 4: the warranty state that you have? Roughly or not.
Speaker 22: Roughly fifty It just does fifty years?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 4: Hold one is saying, let me lock you in. Hey,
Speaker 4: Henry Brett's what's going on? Henry Hey?
Speaker 13: Mark?
Speaker 24: So it's it's Henry Brett. And Jay Bretts is also here.
Speaker 4: Hey, what the hell's going on?
Speaker 2: Big man?
Speaker 4: Hey? First of all, malarkey. They actually named their product mallarkey.
Speaker 4: Am I crazy?
Speaker 24: That is the whole company malarkey.
Speaker 13: It was the guy's last name, is what it was.
Speaker 3: You know, we had a contractor.
Speaker 4: We had a contractor in Colorado Springs called Oops Construction,
Speaker 4: and I thought that was the dumbest damn name I
Speaker 4: ever heard. Now I'm like, mallarkey. But but guys, please
Speaker 4: shed light onto this what she should do, how it's
Speaker 4: supposed to work.
Speaker 22: Please so well, before you do this company called Native
Speaker 22: Yeah said, oh no, we're you know, we're pretty big.
Speaker 22: You know what, We've got a Malarkey rep. We're going
Speaker 22: to talk to him. And I was like, no way.
Speaker 4: So what happened though.
Speaker 22: Well, the Malarkey doesn't want to cover my roost?
Speaker 4: Why why are they saying they're not going to cover it?
Speaker 4: Then I got to let these guys get involved. What
Speaker 4: why are they saying.
Speaker 22: Now that they're not saying min They're just not they're
Speaker 22: just but.
Speaker 4: You've never talked to Malarkey. Okay, now hold on, I'm
Speaker 4: putting her hold so guys please jump in here.
Speaker 17: So the warranty from Malarkey, it's pro rated, so that
Speaker 17: means that it's gonna get lesser and lesser over the years.
Speaker 17: And what she's talking about that granule loss is pretty
Speaker 17: consistent with asphalt roofs. There may be a possibility that
Speaker 17: there's a defect where it shedded more granules. But I mean,
Speaker 17: we're big fans of Owen's Corning because Owen's Cornering, they
Speaker 17: have a great warranty and they stand behind their work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what is it?
Speaker 4: But Henry, what is this lady? What can she possibly do?
Speaker 4: I mean, even if it's pro rated, it's and if
Speaker 4: it's a fifty year roof, she should only be looking
Speaker 4: at x amount. If can you guys say, get the
Speaker 4: product pro rated and have them do the right thing,
Speaker 4: then you guys charge your labor. I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 4: like what are her options?
Speaker 13: So her her.
Speaker 24: Best option would be filing a warranty claim through Malarkey
Speaker 24: and then getting the Malarkey rep out there into starting
Speaker 24: the process and really pushing Hart on it. Because she
Speaker 24: has that warranty, she should really uh, you know, use
Speaker 24: it to the extent.
Speaker 25: Of what is offered.
Speaker 24: And if they're gonna push back on it, you know,
Speaker 24: I'd really just push hard on the Mallarkey rep and
Speaker 24: the Mallarkey warranty to get as much of the thing
Speaker 24: covered as possible.
Speaker 4: She's in Colorado, I think, didn't she say she's in
Speaker 4: Colorado Springs or my nuts? Hold on, let me ask
Speaker 4: her some Hey, where are you located, Tammy.
Speaker 22: I'm in Elizabeth And it's always been filed to Malarkey
Speaker 22: through this Native company, and no one from Malarkey has
Speaker 22: contacted me. And now apparently Native isn't going to bat
Speaker 22: for me either anymore, because I don't know why he
Speaker 22: hasn't told me.
Speaker 2: Why do you.
Speaker 4: Got to be Henry? Do you have to be a
Speaker 4: malarkey supplier in order to get a warranty for a customer?
Speaker 4: And then is it generally just on the materials, whether
Speaker 4: it's pro rated or covered one hundred percent? How do
Speaker 4: most how does that work?
Speaker 13: So Mark?
Speaker 24: How about usually works if it's just a material only
Speaker 24: warranty in most cases? And to answer your question, no,
Speaker 24: you don't have to be a specific malarkey company. And
Speaker 24: really what that company should have done was taken off
Speaker 24: some of the shingles and sent them into Mallarchy.
Speaker 4: But they're not.
Speaker 3: It doesn't that's what you guys talk to me.
Speaker 24: Like they're really handling this correctly. Absolutely, what we would
Speaker 24: do is we would pull off a couple of the shingles,
Speaker 24: send them to Mallarchy, and then prove if they're defective
Speaker 24: or not right, because that's what the warrant she's gonna cover.
Speaker 24: I think she needs a better contract work.
Speaker 4: Can you guess? In my opinion, do you guys mind
Speaker 4: going out? You guys go to Elizabeth?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 17: Yeah, absolutely, we can take care of that, can you.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 4: Here's what I want to do, Tammy. I'm gonna have
Speaker 4: Excel Roofing come out and like get involved in this
Speaker 4: and figure out what's going on. But I want you
Speaker 4: to understand something. You know, if it's a pro rated roof,
Speaker 4: you'll get the materials for whatever the pro ration is.
Speaker 4: They're going to fight and get whatever they can for you.
Speaker 4: But whatever it is is what it is, and that's
Speaker 4: gonna be for the materials. You're still gonna have to
Speaker 4: pay labor to put the roof on. But I mean,
Speaker 4: you're gonna save a lot of money if they can
Speaker 4: get a warranty from you. So I just want to
Speaker 4: make sure you're on that understanding.
Speaker 22: Well, I absolutely am, because great, I can't use I
Speaker 22: can't file an insurance claim because it's so degraded.
Speaker 4: I got it.
Speaker 22: You can't even tell if it's hail.
Speaker 13: I got it.
Speaker 4: Let me put you on hold. So let's make sure
Speaker 4: we have all our information, Kelly, and we're going to
Speaker 4: pass that along to Henry here. Henry on a side.
Speaker 24: Note, got quick, okay, So a lot just so all
Speaker 24: the people listening know, a lot of these companies claim
Speaker 24: they have a lifetime warranty, but it's pretty misleading because
Speaker 24: they do this pro pro rated program where they devalue
Speaker 24: the roof. And that's why we love Owen's Corning. For
Speaker 24: the first ten years. Owen's Corning pays for everything, and
Speaker 24: that's why we even the labor, even labor, that's incredible, everything, labor, permit,
Speaker 24: dump fees, everything, and so like, in my opinion, a
Speaker 24: lot of asphalt shingles are pretty similar. Right, it's just
Speaker 24: granules and the fiberglass and everything. It's really the company
Speaker 24: that stands behind it. You know, if no One's Corning
Speaker 24: stands behind their materiity.
Speaker 4: You brought up something good, and I want to explain
Speaker 4: this to people. So in my Goodyear days, we would
Speaker 4: have a war road hazard product. So in other words,
Speaker 4: if your tire blew out and you bought the insurance policy,
Speaker 4: we give you a free tire, and when you were
Speaker 4: through the good Year network, that's exactly how it would work.
Speaker 4: But Big Oh and a lot of these other people
Speaker 4: on the road hazard, if you add fifty percent of
Speaker 4: that tire then you had a sidewall blowout, you would
Speaker 4: get fifty percent off your next tire. And that was
Speaker 4: very misleading as well, So I appreciate you bringing that up. Henry.
Speaker 4: On a total side note, you told me Colorado Springs
Speaker 4: got nailed with hell, we've been lucky here in Denver.
Speaker 4: What areas of the springs got nailed and you guys
Speaker 4: are out there. I mean, we'll give the phone number
Speaker 4: out there in the springs here in a second, but
Speaker 4: what areas should people go out and look?
Speaker 24: So we experience some insize hail and it was a
Speaker 24: little pocket up north. I don't have that address right
Speaker 24: off the top of my head, but it wasn't a
Speaker 24: major storm, but there were some areas that certainly got
Speaker 24: some hail.
Speaker 4: Excellent, So people, if you got hailed, these guys will
Speaker 4: come out. Never call your insurance company first ever. It's
Speaker 4: going to end up on your clue report. You call
Speaker 4: a good roof for like Excel Roofing that's been around forever,
Speaker 4: and once again, you don't pay a cent to your
Speaker 4: content and they help out our listeners like Tammy all
Speaker 4: the time. But you call them out, they'll look at
Speaker 4: it and they'll say, hey, yeah, you do have damage.
Speaker 4: Time to call the insurance company or they'll say no,
Speaker 4: there's no damage there. You're going to do yourself a
Speaker 4: wrong by calling the insurance company and excel Roofing. You
Speaker 4: can reach them at excel roofing dot com. That's the easiest.
Speaker 4: They have the Denver location. They have up north and

Speaker 4: I got a few lines open, three zero three Martino.
Speaker 4: You can call that number right now, get through. Deputy
Speaker 4: Dmitri's actually headed out to a caller in the first hour.
Speaker 4: Nice older woman called in somewhere in her eighties. She's blind,
Speaker 4: her husband is not doing great, but the door handle
Speaker 4: keeps falling off their shower and they happen to live
Speaker 4: right around here in the tech center. So Dmitri's literally
Speaker 4: heading out there to see if he can fix it up.
Speaker 4: But the interesting part was this, there's a hole in
Speaker 4: their backyard and something's living in it, according to the woman.
Speaker 4: So not only is Dmitri going to fix the door handle,
Speaker 4: next hour, we're going to find out what has made
Speaker 4: a home possibly under their house. And I'm dying to know.
Speaker 4: Could it be a raccoon? Could it be a squirrel?
Speaker 4: Could it be a very small midget? What could be
Speaker 4: thing back there? Baby gator? I don't know. You got
Speaker 4: a question for Brook, What say you? Robert?
Speaker 25: Yeah, I was calling about the h the power grid thing.
Speaker 25: I was wondering, what are the insurance costs per month
Speaker 25: on such a big field like that.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good question. Let's talk about the expense side.
Speaker 4: So you build a five acre array or two acre
Speaker 4: whatever we're talking about. Yeah, what what are the ongoing
Speaker 4: costs to I mean, like I don't even know this,
Speaker 4: Like once a year do you have to clean solar panels?
Speaker 4: Do you have to hire someone to clean all this acreage?
Speaker 4: What is the general maintenance? I mean, give us an idea, brook.
Speaker 16: Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12: So as far as insurance premiums go, it depends on
Speaker 12: if your.
Speaker 16: Insurance company wants to cover this or not.
Speaker 12: Sometimes they'll be reasonable and say here's what your premium
Speaker 12: cost is going to be, and it's ten thousand dollars
Speaker 12: per acre, or they could say it's a million. If
Speaker 12: your insurance company offers you something ridiculous, we actually take
Speaker 12: on that liability in house.
Speaker 16: It's just a separate agreement that you have.
Speaker 4: That we so you become the insurance company exactly.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 12: As far as maintenance go, when we build the solar field,
Speaker 12: we make sure that the ground cover is going to
Speaker 12: be low so that we're not having prairie grass. It's
Speaker 12: going to cover it, so the mowing goes away. And
Speaker 12: then as far as maintenance go, I mean.
Speaker 16: Solar panels really don't require a lot.
Speaker 12: Your inverter is going to go out every ten to
Speaker 12: fifteen years, and that's pretty much all you're going to
Speaker 12: have to be replacing for.
Speaker 4: So for an extra dollar amount, you can become the
Speaker 4: insurance company if an insurance company won't cover it. And
Speaker 4: this guy just heard him say, Robert, what we were talking.
Speaker 4: So if you became the insurance company, I mean, really,
Speaker 4: the main coverage would be hal I mean, the main
Speaker 4: catastrophic coverage would be hail or how does that work? Yeah?
Speaker 16: Exactly?
Speaker 25: Tornado?
Speaker 4: Oh that's a good one. Yeah, how about a tornado?
Speaker 4: How would you possibly cover that through red rocks if
Speaker 4: a tornado came down and ripped up all those units?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it definitely depends on where you're installing
Speaker 12: and so what.
Speaker 16: The criteria are.
Speaker 12: But typically for these projects, I mean, the solar system
Speaker 12: itself isn't that big or like way that much or
Speaker 12: any of those things that is above ground. But below ground,
Speaker 12: we're talking about eight to twelve feet down, two to
Speaker 12: three feet wide holes full of concrete that are cementing
Speaker 12: them into it. So your wind loads that this can
Speaker 12: handle is one hundred and.
Speaker 16: Seventy five mile an hour.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 12: So that's pretty I mean, I don't that's way more
Speaker 12: than a Category five hurricane. So a tornado really isn't
Speaker 12: going to impact it. Hail you're definitely going to have,
Speaker 12: so you have to maybe replace some panels throughout the years,
Speaker 12: depending again on where you install. But we can definitely
Speaker 12: take on that, dude.
Speaker 4: Manufacturers of panels for an application like what we're talking about,
Speaker 4: do they actually have a hail guarantee or no they don't.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so Mission panels, which is what we use, they
Speaker 12: have on their spec sheet the mile per hour in
Speaker 12: the size.
Speaker 16: Of the hail that they are warranted for.
Speaker 12: So if the hail is less than that and it
Speaker 12: damages the panel, then it's covered under their warrants.
Speaker 4: So then the manufacturer covers it. Do you know what
Speaker 4: that is? Offhand?
Speaker 12: It's twenty five meters per second and the size is one.
Speaker 4: Inch, So one inch? How okay? So a baseball is
Speaker 4: going to break these, no doubt.
Speaker 16: Again, it kind of just depends.
Speaker 2: On the tail.
Speaker 4: I forgetting they're on such an angle too when they hit,
Speaker 4: it's not like they're hitting it head on. Yeah, what else?
Speaker 3: Robert?
Speaker 4: Those were great questions, though, Well.
Speaker 25: You know I've heard what you said about getting the
Speaker 25: dragon kicked to the face and seeing Michael Brown and
Speaker 25: you don't want anything to do with that.
Speaker 4: That's pretty good man. Hey, I appreciate to call Roberts.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you there's people listening. Brook ohing Man, I

Speaker 4: need help with the landlord. We have a list of
Speaker 4: attorneys that always come on and give free legal advice
Speaker 4: at referral list dot com. We got great contractors today.
Speaker 4: We've been learning a lot about solar and we'll have
Speaker 4: some more questions for Brooke White. But I want to
Speaker 4: go to Paul Dowding. He is the man when it
Speaker 4: comes to water. I think I said at first hour
Speaker 4: he might not be fun at parties because he lives
Speaker 4: and breathes dirty water is really what it comes down to,
Speaker 4: or clean water. I guess it depends how you're looking
Speaker 4: at it, Paul, But I look something up the other
Speaker 4: day I wanted to talk to you about. We talk
Speaker 4: about PI files all the time. We also talk about
Speaker 4: different places in the country that have horrible water. What
Speaker 4: was the one again that all the people got sick,
Speaker 4: some got cancer, Flint Michigan, horrible one. Make sure your
Speaker 4: MIC's on. I think it is, but I wanted to
Speaker 4: look up Colorado, so we talked about rocky Ford, and
Speaker 4: rocky Ford has more radium contamination in their water than
Speaker 4: any other place in the country. Think about that. That
Speaker 4: is insane. The other thing, parts of North Denver, South
Speaker 4: Adams County and Commerce City have what they refer to
Speaker 4: is legacy water contamination, including pifis. And then there's smaller communities.
Speaker 4: Now I've never heard of this. Apparently it was on
Speaker 4: the news at one point, but the community is called
Speaker 4: Elephant Rock Mobile Home Park, and they have issues so
Speaker 4: bad the federal government had to step in and do
Speaker 4: some form of enforcement. In fact, the same way with
Speaker 4: part of Adams County. What eventually happens if if let's
Speaker 4: take Parker Water is that where Castle Rock gets their water.
Speaker 6: Castle Rock is their own is Douglas County. It's Douglas County, right,
Speaker 6: So Castle Roc has their own municipposed to apply. Parker
Speaker 6: Water has their own.
Speaker 4: Well, what you said about Castle Rock first hour was crazy, though.
Speaker 6: Thirty five percusable water and they're gonna they're gonna add
Speaker 6: sixty thousand people to by next year and they and
Speaker 6: now we just saw the news. They want to add
Speaker 6: another eight hundred homes. It's the same water.
Speaker 4: Source and it's the same thing.
Speaker 6: So so what these guys are thinking about is what's
Speaker 6: for usable water. It's a no brainer to them. But
Speaker 6: what they don't think about is the concentration level of
Speaker 6: all these contaminants that's not being removed.
Speaker 4: How do you test for certain things like do you
Speaker 4: have certain test kits. Water softness, of course, is easy
Speaker 4: to test for, but like someone that has if I
Speaker 4: just moved to Rocky Ford or moved to some of
Speaker 4: these local places Adam County, Adams County, it's like, what
Speaker 4: do you do to test your water?
Speaker 6: You want to take it to Colorado Analytical. So the
Speaker 6: state of Colorado, just so you know, the lab text
Speaker 6: that tested for water fudged water test resorts. The EPA
Speaker 6: shut them down, so.
Speaker 3: They literally lied about it.
Speaker 6: You lied about it. The EPA closed them down. So
Speaker 6: you have to take your water sample to Colorado Analytical
Speaker 6: and then you know requests basically a high profile water.
Speaker 4: Sample and see what's in it? What's in it? It's
Speaker 4: scary what's in water? And the coolest part is, I
Speaker 4: mean some of the systems out there can pretty much
Speaker 4: get rid of all of it. You can pretty much
Speaker 4: get rid of the ninety nine point ninety nine percent
Speaker 4: of it. It's like I saw it kills ninety nine
Speaker 4: point ninety ninety.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you never want to say one hundred percent, I mean,
Speaker 6: because that's irresponsible, nothing to one hundred percent, But if
Speaker 6: you do. So, what I have in my house is
Speaker 6: the you know, the matrix water, and I have the
Speaker 6: reverse hospitosis.
Speaker 4: Have a UV because of you know, did you realize.
Speaker 6: That chlorination doesn't kill bacteria, it only sterilizes it.
Speaker 4: Oh, so it makes the bacteria safe. There you go,
Speaker 4: that's the theory. So I use the UV.
Speaker 6: I do a lot of nasal renses. And so there's
Speaker 6: something that's pretty scary in Florida and Texas, brain eating
Speaker 6: amba's got through municipal water supply people used in heavy pox.
Speaker 4: Someone got a brain thing and died. Yes, what was it?
Speaker 4: They were like they went into a coma and literally
Speaker 4: died for the water. So I have the UV because
Speaker 4: you I mean, I want that protect for most people.
Speaker 4: Though I think that's overboard. I know you don't agree
Speaker 4: with that statement.
Speaker 7: But but so.
Speaker 6: Here's the thing to tow the bubblegum on is I
Speaker 6: like to say, with the quality of water to is
Speaker 6: anything overboard because you really don't know what's in it?
Speaker 4: Well, that's the problem. Then when you find out, like
Speaker 4: you were saying about Colorado's literally they lied and they
Speaker 4: were lying to the EPA, that's right. And then by
Speaker 4: the time they find out those people was that from
Speaker 4: some of the mining stuff? Was that the one you're
Speaker 4: talking about?
Speaker 14: It?
Speaker 6: It was all over the state. It was large in
Speaker 6: small municipalities. And the reason why the EPA came in
Speaker 6: that day to do an audit, and that's when they said, oh,
Speaker 6: well they told the truth.
Speaker 4: Well what was their excuse for lying or reporting the
Speaker 4: bad facts which is lying? Why would anybody do that?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Why would that DA or that lab
Speaker 4: test should come down to budget like they didn't have
Speaker 4: any more budget to treat the water better or they
Speaker 4: simply didn't know how to fix it. I mean, if
Speaker 4: you really talk about wastewater, like you said in Castle Rock,
Speaker 4: if thirty five percent of what comes out of the
Speaker 4: FAWCET is literally what goes down the toilet, it's reusable water. Absolutely,
Speaker 4: I'm reusable, but treated. But that's kind of crazy. How
Speaker 4: about the drug factor like I heard O it's and
Speaker 4: all this stuff can be right in our water supply.
Speaker 6: This is the red flag for me. And this is
Speaker 6: where this is an unre regulated contaminant. So the EPA
Speaker 6: knows they're they're the EPA can test for it and
Speaker 6: they can or do it, but municipalities aren't required to.
Speaker 4: Sixty minutes or twenty twenty one of them was going
Speaker 4: out years ago and testing in the amount of drugs
Speaker 4: in certain areas like in Denver. We're crazy. This is
Speaker 4: a fact.
Speaker 6: Every major over the counter medication will test positive and
Speaker 6: any municipal water supply is a fact. So my concern
Speaker 6: is that the antibiotic resistance that's happening. I'm a big
Speaker 6: you know, red flag for hormones in the water, and
Speaker 6: so this is something that we need to know. How
Speaker 6: can you have a water quality report being sent to you?
Speaker 6: By law, your municipality has to send your report.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that. How like once a year, well
Speaker 4: once a year it's called the water quality report.
Speaker 6: So you can make your own mind up if you
Speaker 6: want to use this water not for drinking and cooking,
Speaker 6: how can that be you know possible? If they're not
Speaker 6: telling the truth. And all contaminants in the water. How
Speaker 6: can that happen? So if the EPA is going to
Speaker 6: take thirteen years to take one contaminant, so you could
Speaker 6: call up Mark and say, I want puberty blockers nominated
Speaker 6: with the EPA to check in my water supply thirteen years,
Speaker 6: thirteen years for them to basically add.
Speaker 4: To that and that you're taking puberty blockers and you
Speaker 4: don't even see you don't know anybody, so medication. This
Speaker 4: is true, but people would argue, I mean it's so minute.
Speaker 6: There you go, that's a great point. But check this out.
Speaker 6: The p fase is one part per billion. That's one
Speaker 6: drop in an Olympic swimming pool. So it doesn't take
Speaker 6: a large.
Speaker 4: Job that wait, wait that meaning what though it's one
Speaker 4: part in a swimming pool? Meaning what though? That's still
Speaker 4: done it that's the measurement. So they started out at
Speaker 4: one part per billion, so one part para billion. The
Speaker 4: EPA did no, but I mean, like mine was this testing.
Speaker 6: So this was done in twenty twenty four, the EPA
Speaker 6: came out and said, okay, we wanted one part per
Speaker 6: billion of p fas is too much. So to give
Speaker 6: you an idea what that is that's one drop up
Speaker 6: contaminant and bickside a swimming pool.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 6: Okay, Now it went down to four part petrillion, So
Speaker 6: today's stands by the paid zero. So it doesn't take
Speaker 6: a large number to be.
Speaker 4: A connection in every water system.
Speaker 6: That's right, and it's in everybody's body. So the microplastics
Speaker 6: the thing that the other thing is micropractice.
Speaker 3: They think about it.
Speaker 4: It rains, Yes, it's groundwater. Yes, grass grows, Cows eat it.
Speaker 4: That's right. You eat it the cow, that's right. You now,
Speaker 4: not nothing to do with your water supply in this case,
Speaker 4: but just by eating the cow because the cow was
Speaker 4: grazing in the field by the water that basically was
Speaker 4: in the ground. It just back up and comes down again.
Speaker 6: See this, That's why I said this is a generational
Speaker 6: issue that's not going to be fixed tomorrow.
Speaker 4: I heard you were you guys were talking during the
Speaker 4: break brook on a water system. Do you guys have
Speaker 4: one at your house? Out of curiosity, we.
Speaker 16: Just have one that you like connect under the sink,
Speaker 16: like a minor one.
Speaker 4: I would say, like you buy at home depot or Amazon, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 4: Well what about those? And then I'll even go a
Speaker 4: stay up further. How about your refrigerator? Do you get
Speaker 4: water from it?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 4: She said it like hell.
Speaker 16: No, our fridge is not that cool.
Speaker 4: So our fridge has one. So I mean we got
Speaker 4: a water system granted, So I don't know if it matters. Okay,
Speaker 4: r RV r RV's got the refrigerator inside's got it
Speaker 4: almost looks like an oil filter, that's right, So how
Speaker 4: good are those things there? It's a taste in water
Speaker 4: filter and hard water.
Speaker 6: If you went and camped out at a hard water site,
Speaker 6: that filter would basically get overrun by hardness. And that's
Speaker 6: where you see need debris and the water receptacle or
Speaker 6: the ice maker receptacle.
Speaker 4: That's calcium overtaking a filter. That's crazy. So let's get
Speaker 4: to this real quick. And Leanno's got a problem with
Speaker 4: a vet clinic. I promised Leon I'll get you after
Speaker 4: this break that I'm going to be forced to take.
Speaker 4: But waterpros dot net Paul really lives and breathes it.
Speaker 4: They don't come out and try to sell you something
Speaker 4: you don't need. He knows the area. He can show
Speaker 4: you exactly what your water's like by pulling some of
Speaker 4: these reports, and most of them ack knowledge where it's at.
Speaker 4: But just get out there, protect the family and his systems. Honestly,
Speaker 4: Paul Well, I like you personally a lot, and I
Speaker 4: love the system you sold us, But one of your
Speaker 4: biggest selling points to me is purely the price. I
Speaker 4: don't care. I called other people right on our referral list.
Speaker 4: I was quoted for a system that basically does everything
Speaker 4: everything from four thousand dollars up to fifteen thousand dollars, right,
Speaker 4: and that was two years ago. I assume everything's a
Speaker 4: little higher now. But you have that new system now
Speaker 4: that does the whole house softener, It does the chlorine,
Speaker 4: It takes care of chlorine, qluorine, It takes care of that,
Speaker 4: It takes care of the p FOZ, takes care of
Speaker 4: the hardness radium or yes, it takes care of everything. Basically,
Speaker 4: it's an all one system, right. And the price of
Speaker 4: this thing is just crazy. And I don't mean crazy bad.
Speaker 4: I mean I dare you to call up Calligan or
Speaker 4: anybody out there and say I want a system, a
Speaker 4: whole house that does this. You're you're going to hear ten,
Speaker 4: maybe even up to twenty thousand dollars. This system is
Speaker 4: thirty six hundred bucks, thirty six fifty thoughts install by
Speaker 4: license plumbers of course, that's right, thirty six to ninety five.
Speaker 4: What kind of warranties on something like that.
Speaker 6: So the manufacturer gives you a limited lifetime warranty, and
Speaker 6: so that's on the control valve, right, and the holding tank.
Speaker 6: The media will have a lifespan of easily ten to
Speaker 6: twelve years.
Speaker 4: So in ten or twelve years you redo that part.
Speaker 4: We do, yeah, redo the top geve. But then the
Speaker 4: p fazs are out of your house, well except for
Speaker 4: what you eat, but it's out of your water at least, right.
Speaker 4: And then chlorine, the total chlorine, so they use a chlormine. Now,
Speaker 4: how about we were talking about drugs and stuff real quick?
Speaker 4: You need the point of uchi verse house moss for that.
Speaker 4: That's what gets rid of that, and that would only
Speaker 4: be for example, it's kischens you can think and possibly
Speaker 4: the start at one thousand ish.
Speaker 6: Right now we're at eleven hundred bucks. Yeah for system.
Speaker 4: All right, check the best the best pricing out there.
Speaker 4: And this guy could go out he can even do

Speaker 4: Deputy Dimitri went over to a caller from this morning.
Speaker 4: She called in and said, hey, who should I call?
Speaker 4: What kind of handyman? Because our shower knob to our
Speaker 4: I guess there a shower door kept falling off and
Speaker 4: they'd have to put it back on. They're both in
Speaker 4: their eighties. Uh, she's blind. I'm not sure about the husband,
Speaker 4: but hey, hey, Deputy d The other thing they said
Speaker 4: is apparently some vermit or some critter was digging their
Speaker 4: hole and living under the house.
Speaker 3: Tell us what you found, well, Mark, it.
Speaker 13: Was pretty easy.
Speaker 18: So the door, the door knob and a glass shower door.
Speaker 18: It's like it's like a U shaped handle on either
Speaker 18: side of the glass with two holes, and there's a
Speaker 18: mounting stud that's through the holes, and both of the
Speaker 18: set screws that hold the door handle to the mounting
Speaker 18: stud or loose. So I tightened up the two set
Speaker 18: screws and it will probably hold because they kind of
Speaker 18: bite into a rubbery stud.
Speaker 3: I got you, and I told them.
Speaker 18: I told them that if it doesn't hold, you know,
Speaker 18: I got it as tide as I could, and and
Speaker 18: I gave them my business card, and I said, next
Speaker 18: time it comes loose, call me and I'll bring over
Speaker 18: some lock.
Speaker 4: Tight Now, now tell me what what what ster? In
Speaker 4: what stern in their backyard? Did you catch it? Can
Speaker 4: you cook?
Speaker 20: It?
Speaker 13: Is a chup?
Speaker 18: I got a chup of cabra for free out of it,
Speaker 18: and I'm going to bring back to the studio tomorrow.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 4: No, Oh my god, I'm going I'll bring it here.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 4: What the hell's a two berth star Wars.
Speaker 18: It's like a Tasmanian devil that I found under the house.
Speaker 14: No I.
Speaker 18: So I did see there's a little cubby hole that
Speaker 18: some little critter done next to their foundation of their house.
Speaker 18: But it's a concrete foundation, so and it looked like
Speaker 18: it was just a little cubbyhole some critter.
Speaker 4: So we couldn't even get in the house.
Speaker 18: No, No, And just to make sure, I did go
Speaker 18: into the basement and I took the access panel off
Speaker 18: their crawl space and I looked in there, and it's
Speaker 18: pitch black in the crawl space, so I would have
Speaker 18: seen daylight shining through. Animals somehow chewed into the size.
Speaker 18: Nice couple, Dimitri, very nice couple, just very very sweet,
Speaker 18: and they're they're kind of like in their mid.
Speaker 2: To late eighties.
Speaker 18: I would they have been in this house for four decades.
Speaker 4: You know, we talk about recovering money and stuff, but
Speaker 4: I mean, think about this because of the show in
Speaker 4: Dimitri today, you know, going out, they've been struggling with
Speaker 4: that door handle on their shower in their eighties and
Speaker 4: they were worried then maybe something was breaking into their house.
Speaker 4: Now what I might have done is got a hose
Speaker 4: and put it in that hole and just turned it on,
Speaker 4: held up the dome.
Speaker 18: It it's not a hole.
Speaker 4: There is, like Dmitri, one step away from being peta,
Speaker 4: just one step away. But if you even talk about
Speaker 4: like a squirrel coming to their demise, the guy goes crazy.
Speaker 18: Yeah, well, I get very it's very upsetting to hear
Speaker 18: about little critters losing their lives prematurely. Yeah, but in
Speaker 18: this case, they have nothing to worry about critter infiltration rocking. Well, Babe,
Speaker 18: they have my business card, so they'll call me if
Speaker 18: that's if that handle comes loose again.
Speaker 4: Deputy d We appreciate it. We'll see you hopefully in
Speaker 4: studio tomorrow. Thank you very much. On behalf everybody, John
Speaker 4: D Yeah, I wish them well. Uh, Leanna, what is
Speaker 4: going on with this vet clinic? Leanna, let's do this,

Speaker 4: oh three Martino. You know Brooke White Red Rocks Rs
Speaker 4: I got so many emails basically saying it sounds.
Speaker 3: Too good to be true.
Speaker 4: You get a commercial system and it's over one hundred
Speaker 4: percent paid for, meaning to even put some tax credits
Speaker 4: and grant money into your pocket. But man, uh, you
Speaker 4: how many of these have you done? Like, how many
Speaker 4: how many commercial systems solar systems have you done? And
Speaker 4: let's say I don't know five years where ninety to
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty percent of them were paid for
Speaker 4: with grant money or tax credits.
Speaker 16: Most of my commercial projects have been in that stage.
Speaker 4: So almost all of them. Yeah.
Speaker 16: And the thing that I would.
Speaker 4: Always feel like a bigger rate take from start to
Speaker 4: finish a year.
Speaker 12: No, it's going to take two years just to install,
Speaker 12: two years some of these solar field projects.
Speaker 3: He's two to three five acre.
Speaker 12: The projects of these size are always looked at by
Speaker 12: attorneys that specialize in this, and so absolutely make sure
Speaker 12: you have the right folks that you call to look
Speaker 12: through the contracts and get all of those details. Absolutely,
Speaker 12: because you know this is a lot of money to risk.
Speaker 4: How about a typical house and I always just say
Speaker 4: this a Highlands ranch house somewhere in the meadows and
Speaker 4: castle rock someone that wants to add solar. What are
Speaker 4: we you talking in general?
Speaker 12: Yeah, so for a residential house you're talking about, you know,
Speaker 12: twenty four thousand would be the gross on the project.
Speaker 12: After the tax credits, it would be just under seventeen
Speaker 12: And it's going to replace about one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 12: worth of electric.
Speaker 4: Bills over what period of time? Twenty years?
Speaker 16: Thirty years? We do a thirty year warranty on our systems,
Speaker 16: parts of labor.
Speaker 4: How about instantly if they have a loan on the system,
Speaker 4: So they have a loan out there for seventeen thousand,
Speaker 4: and then the payments are generally what based upon those.
Speaker 16: Numbers, Uh, usually they're right now.
Speaker 12: If they're Exceled territory, it's about fifty bucks less a
Speaker 12: month than what they're paying. So if they're paying one
Speaker 12: hundred dollars now a month, it would drop.
Speaker 16: To fifty dollars to pay for the.
Speaker 12: Solar and their Excel bills gone. If it's Core, it's
Speaker 12: about even because Core.
Speaker 4: Oh wait, so you're saying if they're on Excel, literally
Speaker 4: they save money day one even with the loan on
Speaker 4: the solar. Yeah.
Speaker 12: Usually if you finance the system you actually save money
Speaker 12: day one because your payment is less. You're just paying
Speaker 12: interest and you're spreading it out versus doing cash. You
Speaker 12: have a higher initial outlay, but your return on investments
Speaker 12: a lot quicker.
Speaker 4: So how about do you ever suggest leasing under any scenario?
Speaker 4: Or no?
Speaker 16: No, Because I'm also a roofing company.
Speaker 12: So your option is to pay more for a system
Speaker 12: that you're going to buy anyways, or have them repo
Speaker 12: a system off of your roof and run your roof.
Speaker 4: So if someone has hail damage and they have a
Speaker 4: solar system, that's kind of funny. You guys do both.
Speaker 4: You'll come out remove this stuff, do the roof, or
Speaker 4: do whatever damage, and then put everything back on.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we'll do anything on the project. I mean, if
Speaker 12: you've got a roofing company that you really love and
Speaker 12: you just want us to do.
Speaker 16: The solar bit, we would love to do that. Aspect.
Speaker 4: Our insurance company's pretty good when people have solar, like
Speaker 4: actually paying for that.
Speaker 16: Yeah they have to.
Speaker 4: Well I know they have to, but I mean, well, actually, yeah,
Speaker 4: I guess they do. So if someone puts solar on
Speaker 4: after they had insurance, in other words, you add solar
Speaker 4: and you don't tell your insurance company, They're still going
Speaker 4: to pay for the whole.
Speaker 12: Nope, you absolutely have to let your insurance company know
Speaker 12: that you added solar.
Speaker 4: You do, yep, yep. Do you have solar on your house?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, is there?
Speaker 4: It'd be funny if you didn't. Well, do you have
Speaker 4: one of those water systems into your house?
Speaker 3: Question?
Speaker 4: No, I haven't had one. What area would you say
Speaker 4: so best for solar brook in like say Metro Denver
Speaker 4: or in the front range. And what I mean by
Speaker 4: that is like my area where I live, We've got
Speaker 4: one hundred foot trees. I mean it's it makes zero
Speaker 4: sense for me to have solar, so we just have
Speaker 4: too much sun blockage.
Speaker 12: Boulder, Boulder's your best spot because Boulder has grants for
Speaker 12: residents to do it.
Speaker 4: Oh like, what like if you're in Boulder and you're
Speaker 4: listening to this show and you don't have solar, let's
Speaker 4: go back to that twenty four thousand dollars solar system
Speaker 4: after tax credits, you're at seventeen thousand. What other incentives
Speaker 4: does Boulder actually bring to the table.
Speaker 12: So, Boulder, we'll do a grant project that covers roughly
Speaker 12: about thirty percent of that and then Excel also has
Speaker 12: a program that will cover thirty percent of it. So
Speaker 12: if you're in Boulder, depending on what your demographics are,
Speaker 12: you could only be out of pocket ten percent of
Speaker 12: that project.
Speaker 16: It's twenty four hundred.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 12: And then the blind grant is a check, so it's
Speaker 12: and the Excel rebate is a check too, So your
Speaker 12: tax liability isn't influenced by those things.
Speaker 4: Not at all.
Speaker 16: Nope.
Speaker 4: Wow, So people in Boulder without solar systems and.
Speaker 12: You're charge Excel rate, so you're replacing a really high
Speaker 12: utility bill with this system.
Speaker 4: Man, that's incredible thinking about twenty four hundred bucks for
Speaker 4: a solar system if the numbers crunched right? Yeah, how
Speaker 4: does it generally work? Someone's interested? I mean, then go
Speaker 4: to redrocksars dot com and I'll give your phone number out.
Speaker 4: But then what you basically say, okay, we'll send someone out.
Speaker 4: I mean, do you have to go out to see
Speaker 4: if solar's right for that property, like literally like boots
Speaker 4: on the ground, or can you just look at some
Speaker 4: kind of thing on a satellite image and get a
Speaker 4: good idea of what they're looking at and then type
Speaker 4: in the tax credits and the grants and explain everything
Speaker 4: over the phone. How do you guys typically work at
Speaker 4: Red Rocks.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean I think that's more up to what
Speaker 16: the client's looking for.
Speaker 12: Some folks really need you to sit down with them
Speaker 12: in person and have that person a person feel.
Speaker 4: Is that generally you or how many people do that
Speaker 4: part of it for you?
Speaker 16: It's only me. I'm the only one that does anything with.
Speaker 3: Time, So they deal with you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 16: You're stuck with me, guys.
Speaker 4: So so you go out or you can do it
Speaker 4: over the phone in most cases, yeah, absolutely. And then
Speaker 4: if you do it mostly over the phone, explain the
Speaker 4: numbers and the next step is you go out to the property.
Speaker 16: I assume, yep, absolutely.
Speaker 12: We'll do documents in order to put everything together for engineering.
Speaker 16: But let's say when we talk over.
Speaker 12: The phone, I say, this is the project's going to
Speaker 12: be twenty four thousand, these are your incentives.
Speaker 16: Blah blah blah. I get out there.
Speaker 12: I find out that you need to do a main
Speaker 12: panel upgrade. Well, I've already agreed to what we were
Speaker 12: going to do it, so we'll do that main panel
Speaker 12: upgrade complimentary to you, just to get the system going.
Speaker 12: The only thing that we won't do as a change
Speaker 12: order that will require it is a brand new roof.
Speaker 4: That's crazy barbecue. Bob has a question for you, what
Speaker 4: an interesting name? What's your question? Bob, I'm up against

Speaker 3: All right, Barbecue Bob's got a quick question. Barbecue Bob.
Speaker 4: You got a quadplex and you were wondering about tax
Speaker 4: credits and grants on setting up a commercial solar system, Right, yes, sir,
Speaker 4: go ahead tell them how that would work.
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, So your quadplex is it commercial or is
Speaker 12: it for like homes, like for folks?
Speaker 23: Oh yeah, it's residential. There's people living in each unit.
Speaker 12: Okay, perfect, So then the residential folks are charged higher
Speaker 12: than commercial through Excel. You got Excel out there, right, yes, yep.
Speaker 12: So essentially you'll be able to cut your tenants, build
Speaker 12: down and make the income that excel what I made
Speaker 12: off of them, and the system would be sixty four
Speaker 12: percent covered with tax.
Speaker 10: Benefits sixty four percent yep.
Speaker 12: Out in Golden, every commercial project, no matter where it's
Speaker 12: at in the United States, starts off at sixty four
Speaker 12: and then depending on where you're at, you can have
Speaker 12: a bonus tax credits.
Speaker 23: But Golden doesn't qualify for bonus tax. We're actually outside
Speaker 23: the city limits in the unincorporated How do you do.
Speaker 4: That by address? Like literally you go down to the address.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep.
Speaker 12: So the federal government determines what's considered energy distressed or disadvantage.
Speaker 4: Areas, and then that's where the extra on top of
Speaker 4: the sixty four sounds great, but on top of that,
Speaker 4: so basically he would become his electric company. Regardless of
Speaker 4: how much of it's covered. He would be charging his
Speaker 4: tenants electricity and be making that money going forward exactly.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Plus the actual benefit of the value of the improvement
Speaker 4: to the commercial property is great.
Speaker 12: Yeah. And when you do commercial projects like that, again,
Speaker 12: Colorado is pushing one hundred percent solar and electric within
Speaker 12: the timeframes, so his building would then be safe from
Speaker 12: those regulations in the future.
Speaker 4: So hey, Barbecue Bob, give her a call off with
Speaker 4: the address. Just go to redrocksars dot com and call Brookups.
Speaker 4: She'll talk to you about it, and you can actually
Speaker 4: dial in the numbers for him and anybody else I
Speaker 4: assume if they reach out Brooks. So it's pretty straightforward.
