Why Solar???? Well, we are running out of oil on this small planet, and we need to start making other arrangements to provide ourselves with the energy that we need to continue living our "normal" lives.
None of us wish to give up the things in life that cheap oil based electrical power has made possible: microwaves, washers/driers, refrigerators, freezers, computers, radio, television, etc. Giving these ammenities up would be the same as "going back to the stone age" for most people.
"Roughing it" might be fun for a couple of weeks during the summer - while on vacation - but...
With this in mind, I realized that solar power is going to become very necessary to many of us in the fairly near future, and that people in Northeastern Ohio are going to need a solar service provider that they feel they can work with and trust to provide them with the best materials and services available.
It has been said many times that "you get what you pay for". I believe this old axiom to be mostly true. I rarely buy the "cheapest" good or service, but I also rarely buy the most expensive.
I am willing, however, to pay extra for a well designed and engineered product, and I greatly prefer to give my hard earned money to someone who is friendly, helpful, willing to work with me, and who genuinely wants my business. I feel that the extra service is worth the extra cost.
This is the basic approach that I intend on having for this company. I won't be offering the cheapest products and service. I also won't be the most expensive. If what you are looking for is the cheapest solar goods and services, you will probably be happier looking elsewhere.
If you are looking for someone who is willing to work with you, help you plan and design a viable system for your wants and needs, and who plans to be around when you want to expand, improve, and/or upgrade your system, then please consider giving Cleveland Solar & Wind a try.
Thank you very much,

Welcome To Cleveland Solar & Wind
My name is Bill MacDermott and have been a big fan of solar power for the last few years. I started up this new business last July with the intention that it will become the best source in the Cleveland/Northeast Ohio area for your solar and wind supplies and services. I have already made arrangements with a couple of national solar manufacturers to handle their products, and I intend to add more to the list.
Of more importance is my belief that I have a responsibility to offer access to information on the reasons why solar and wind are important, and the reasons why reduced energy consumption needs to be the first step in any alternative energy purchase.
On a personal basis I recently spent a week at a photovoltaic installers training class in Toledo, that was sponsored by Green Energy Ohio, . I learned a lot in the class, but I feel I will know a lot more after a couple of years of designing and installing PV systems here in Northeast Ohio.
I have been working on the completing the construction of this web site , so please plan on coming back for another visit, and I hope that you will like what you see once the construction is finished.
If you have any suggestions on how I could improve this site, or if you would like me to provide you with any further information, please feel free to drop me a line at: billmacd@clevelandsolar-wind.com
Thanks for your interest.
