Dear PG&E Electrical Energy provider:

About 3 months ago I sent you an e-mail in order to request the solar system program (solar pannels) to be installed in my home in Prunedale, Monterey County, California, and I didn't have any answeer. Please, could you inform to me about this program. I'm building my own wind mill, so I need to combine the solar system with my wind mill.

Thank you very much for your help on this matter.
