We haven’t received many comments (we are looking forward to more), but we do get messages. It was a pleasure to hear recently from a couple, she age 70 and he 71. They used our referral link and wanted to share why they chose to open an Energea account.
In our words, the following retells their story.
To give some background, she still works and loves it. He has been retired for years. They live in New England and experience some of the lowest sun radiance in the continental US, which created a problem for them.
They liked the idea of having solar installed on their property for the usual reasons; clean energy, eventually pays for itself and then you get “free” electricity, etc. But with their location, age, and the break even point being almost 10 years out, it just seemed too far off in the future.
In the end it became a deal breaker and no solar was installed.
Then they heard about Energea. After doing their “due diligence” it became clear, Energea could solve their problem of sun radiance, ROI, and age. They could put their money to work, help the world, and make money, right now.
And so, they became Energea investors.
This is a great story!
While we realized Energea was a good alternative to installing your own solar array, their story created a new perspective for us and that is Energea’s impact on inheritance. While we don’t know what the future holds for this couple or any of us for that matter, it made us think what passing along an Energea portfolio to heirs means.
Since the Energea contracts are generally 20-30 years, the idea is monthly distributions for decades to come.
Would our children benefit more from an operating solar array on our property (home equity) or an Energea portfolio that pumps out cash each month? What about the heirs of the couple in the story? Or yours?
While we have to give this more thought, our initial reaction is that our children would be way more excited about receiving an Energea portfolio that immediately gives them monthly income.
