Report
For the last 11 years Mississippi Solar's Generac whole house generator has been keeping my lights on and the A/C running! They are prompt and professional, and very reasonably priced. When I went back last year to add a solar array, I chose them again and never regretted it! I am using 2/5 of the city's electricity I used to pay for. Recommended!
