Earlier this year Doug and Jenny installed twenty 260-watt Suniva solar electric panels with a 5,000 watt SMA inverter, predicted to produce close to 6,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity for their home each year. The solar electric system is grid-connected and will feed excess electricity back into the grid anytime they produce more electricity than they are able to use. The excess electricity shows up in the form of a credit on their bill, which they are able to use for up to twelve months.
