Women interests in PV [RE-wrenches]

[Jim Duncan]

In that same vein, I have found that a number of elderly folks, in a 
chronological sense only, are very interested in investing in solar. My 
record is a two year old, 3 tracker installation, the owner just turned 
90. 
And yes, I find lots of interest from women of all ages.
