00:06Hello everybody my name is Chris Berger and it's time for Berger Point. You know part of the fun
00:12going around and seeing these houses is what they actually have to offer on the outside before you
00:18get to see the inside. Now we talked about you know whether it's the the panels that might
00:24provide a backup system, the air conditioning system, the solar system, and this was particularly
00:33stood out to me because we we had a client and on the outside of the home was a car
00:40charger which
00:42traditionally is pretty much always located inside the garage and connected to your power source or
00:49your electrical grid you know inside the house but this was outside. I said oh what how is this
00:55working? Well it turns out that the charger was powered by a battery storage that was provided
01:04by the solar panels which were located on the roof and I said isn't that something? Now this is adding
01:10value to the home probably you know somewhere in the area of at least $20,000. Now by doing so
01:17because traditionally we think of electrical vehicles in the United States not that many. However
01:24statistically speaking it's about seven and a half percent between electrical vehicles and now
01:30even the plug-in hybrids. So I wanted to show you what this panel looked like and how unique it
01:36is.
01:38And what's unique about this charger is that of course it's attached to the outside of the home
01:45but above it are the solar panels that provide the electricity for it. Essentially free after you
01:54pay for the panels. Over the weekend I got to see a kind of unique concert. It was called the
02:00Happy
02:00Together Tour and it was located in New Hampshire and they had eight different artists providing music
02:09and it was really extraordinary. But one of the things that I saw Gary Puckett in the Union Gap
02:15and actually my wife and I saw him 50 years ago when we were in high school which is absolutely
02:22amazing.
02:23Have a good one.
