down at City Hall would be more familiar with solar installations and would process the
construction permit more quickly.
So we have fed what we call the “solar social network” with our tools and incentive
systems. These are both monetary incentives and social incentives because people are
happy to engage their community in the process of going solar. For example, I have a
small nine-panel system on my home, and my next-door neighbor has one, and his other
next-door neighbor has one, too—all from Sungevity. Last weekend I received a text
from a neighborhood friend who watches my kid. She told me she was going to go solar
with Sungevity because she had just gone to our website and found it all so easy and fin-
ancially attractive. I joked with my friend that I'd pay my daughter a commission for the
sale, but she said I didn't need to—it was just what everyone was doing on the block.
There goes the neighborhood! And this process will sweep suburbia in the coming

this is the home front in the epic struggle against King CONG, and the people are on our
side. Now is the time to occupy our rooftops!
What You Can Do as a Rooftop Revolutionary
Help set the record straight by challenging misinformation. Directly question
unbalanced and outright negative media reports on the viability of solar
power by sending a letter to the editor, demanding accurate and balanced re-
porting on energy issues.
Educate your network of friends and colleagues about the truth regarding
Solyndra's failure and how it has been blown out of proportion by King
CONG and its allies in the media and used to inaccurately depict the entire
solar industry as a failure.
Visit the Sungevity blog (blog.sungevity.com) when you need clarity on energy
issues.
