What You Need to Know
Description:
About 4200 watts of grid-tied PV. The old system has battery backup. The new 1000 watt system can be monitored on the web - see link. Cutting down some neighbors' trees would help boost output! ;)
Other Benefits:
Battery backup of critical loads during power outages.
Maintenance Requirements:
Recently replaced the tired old batteries with sealed, "maintenance free" batteries.
Efficiency or Sustainability Improvements:
Daylighting, Energy Star lights and appliances,...
My Motivation:
A Brighter Future!!
Advice:
PV is not the first thing you should do, but definitely a great move once you have upgraded insulation, lights and appliances.
Experience with Installer:
Shawn Lessord at Renewable Rochester is Great!
