- Lastly, we recently moved to Vail, AZ. We purchased a property on one acre. We would like to fence the property, secure two batteries for our solar system, plant an orchard with fruit trees, and build a green house. This is my “why” for returning to work. I love solar. I drive an EV, and I am passionate about clean energy. Also, I enjoy solving problems and helping people. I am healthy, energetic, and excited to return to the work force. Solar Sales and Marketing would be a new direction and Editing/Proofreading is something I do second nature. I would enjoy either of these areas.
