Lord Solar

I am a huge fan of renewable energy efforts at the home. Most energy consumption occurs at the home and most opportunity to offset that exists at the home. I started by installing solar panels on our modest Arizona home. I lease the panels from a company called Solar City, which means I didn't pay up front for them and my electric bill is less than it was from my local power company. My friends have since dubbed me "Lord Solar". Lord Solar is into solar installations, gardening, composting, and generally being green. He is a villain, not a super hero, as long as it is uncool to be green.
