Now the residents of the <strong>Lakeside</strong><br />
area started pay<strong>in</strong>g attention to the<br />
attractive economics of solar energy.<br />
• Would you like to have an <strong>in</strong>vestment that<br />
pays 15% - 20% each year?<br />
• Then <strong>in</strong>stall a solar electric<br />
system!
Now the residents of the <strong>Lakeside</strong><br />
area started pay<strong>in</strong>g attention to the<br />
attractive economics of solar energy.<br />
• For example:<br />
• Installed cost for a 2kW solar electric<br />
system, about $13,000 USD at the present<br />
time. (Sufficient for a moderate sized<br />
house.)<br />
• Annual sav<strong>in</strong>g about $2,200 USD.<br />
• Return on your <strong>in</strong>vestment: 5-6 years,<br />
which means 15% to 20% return.
Now the residents of the <strong>Lakeside</strong><br />
area started pay<strong>in</strong>g attention to the<br />
attractive economics of solar energy.<br />
• This example was for CFE rates today.<br />
• CFE has told us that rates will go up 10%<br />
per year from now on.<br />
• After ten years, your sav<strong>in</strong>gs will be<br />
$4,400 per year.<br />
• Your return on <strong>in</strong>vestment will be 30% to<br />
40% each year! And your system is<br />
waranteed for 25 years!

ON A MEASURE OF INSTALLED SOLAR POWER<br />
PER PERSON,
ON A MEASURE OF INSTALLED SOLAR POWER<br />
PER PERSON,<br />
AJIJIC AND THE CHAPALA LAKESIDE<br />
ARE THE SOLAR ENERGY CAPITAL<br />
OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF MEXICO!
AND THEN?<br />
The solar home community and others<br />
<strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong> liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> harmony with our<br />
country, world and environment created an<br />
<strong>in</strong>terest group,<br />
the “Green<br />
Group”, which<br />
has educational<br />
meet<strong>in</strong>gs every<br />
month.
AND THEN?<br />
One idea that came out of the Green Group<br />
was for an all-organic “Tiangus” (farmer’s<br />
market).
It is now the largest organic market <strong>in</strong> all<br />
of Mexico! So Ajijic and the <strong>Chapala</strong><br />
<strong>Lakeside</strong> are not just the solar energy<br />
capital of Mexico, they are also the<br />
organic market capital of Mexico!
To th<strong>in</strong>k that it all started just 5 years ago,<br />
with just one house,
To th<strong>in</strong>k that it all started just 5 years ago,<br />
with just one house,<br />
and just two people with a vision.
A vision<br />
of a<br />
better<br />
and<br />
greener<br />
world<br />
for<br />
them.
