The local free sheet does its part in these tough economic times:
Come on down!
Detroit Edison entices homes,
businesses to solar system

I don't understand. We are all in the solar system, orbiting the sun in free fall, somewhere between Venus and Mars.
I remember one time back in the '70s talking with a college professor who had said that his specialty was solar systems. I thought this was pretty forward thinking and theoretical, particularly since, although I didn't know it at the time, any practical knowledge of more than one solar system was at least 20 years in the future. After a bit I discovered that what he was talking about was systems that converted solar energy into hot water or electricity.
As long as they don't entice any more of those troublemaking dwarf planets!
Surely they can't be Sirius.
