But I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll get there.\u201d Pecenka has also long considered getting solar panels, but until recently, hadn\u2019t had the time to sit down and discuss it with a representative. \u201cWe had a guy knock on our door one afternoon, we were both here, so we decided to talk to him,\u201d said Pecenka. \u201cAnd now it looks like we are going that direction.\u201d Pecenka is aware of the basic advantages of going solar, such as adding value to his home, getting less expensive and eventually free energy, and being environmentally responsible. \u201cAll those things are definitely great,\u201d said Pecenka. \u201cThe tax credit is also nice, as far as timing, because when <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/environment\/nasa-global-warming-climate-change-denial-donald-trump-interference-science-a7421416.html\" target=\"_blank\">administrations change<\/a>, that could go away. But the truth is, the main reason I am going solar is that it is probably the easiest way to get solar companies to stop knocking on my door,\u201d said Pecenka. \u201cYes, we are excited about the benefits, but I knew until I went solar, that knocking wasn\u2019t going to stop. Where do those solar reps get all of their energy? Probably the sun. Anyway, I\u2019m excited the knocking will finally stop, or I will just be able to say, \u2018sorry, under contract.\u2019\u201d Pecenka suggests his neighbors \u201cstop the knocking and go solar.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6719","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-139","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6719"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6719\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8082,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6719\/revisions\/8082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
