Closed Monday, February 21st

We all have family, in one form or another. Parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, friends, pets... In some cases, even a delapitated, 20 year-old Honda Civic lovingly referred to as Lou. It has rust in the rear quarter panels and the steering wheel squeeks when it gets cold, but things just wouldn't be the same without ol' Lou.

So to celebrate and spend time with our loved ones, whoever they may be,  Solarbotics and HVWTech will be closed on Monday, February the 21st for Family Day. "But I don't get to celebrate Family Day where I live!" Well, we have good news - our website doesn't have any family, so you can still keep it company by dropping in, looking around, and placing an order. If you really want, you can even say hello to our answering machine and email addresses. We'll get back to you when we open on Tuesday the 22nd. You see, the office computers and phones aren't family either, so we'll be doing our best to avoid giving them any love for the day. Life is rough when you're an inanimate object. Unless your name is Lou, of course.
