Nationwide, solar electric companies are experiencing a spike in sales attributed partly to Y2K jitters. Solar Electric Systems of Kansas City notes that Y2K
has put solar on the radar screen for back-up power. Golden Genesis Co. of Scottsdale, AZ reports a 40 percent increase in sales for 1998 as several thousand more customers purchased solar systems; this year, sales are on track to increase another 70 percent. The company advertises 1,100-watt solar electric systems for $1,599 – enough to power lights, a refrigerator, entertainment systems, and a computer during short power outages.
