Efficiency or Sustainability Improvements:
In additional to solar, we are renovating our 1875 farmhouse to superinsulate and switch all heating / appliances to electricity. R60 roof, R40 walls: most types of insulation - double wall, spray foam, foam board, hard pack cellulose.
My Motivation:
Saving the planet, low cost of living for when we retire
Experience with Installer:
Solar installers were very customer focused - lots of helpful information about the process
Additional Notes:
Savings are at current renovation state. Will be more when complete.
