Did you know that starting in July, with the release of Google Chrome 68, Google will be marking all websites that connect via HTTP as insecure ?

Google is pushing companies to create secure connections to their websites by using HTTPS.

HTTPS differs from HTTP in that it uses encryption to create a secure connection from the user to the website rather than a clear text connection that a traditional HTTP connection would create. Many of you are likely familiar with HTTPS from going to banking sites or retail sites that want to protect the communication from the customer to the website.

 “Most solar installations are performed on rooftops, so adding a roofing service provides our customers with a simple solution to complete both projects for their home,” said Stan Dobert, president of Apex Solar Power.
