What You Need to Know

Description:

Was looking for an installer that had experience working on S-tile roof. Wanted to be aesthetically pleasing while offsetting the majority of energy use.

Maintenance Requirements:

Other than an annual cleaning the system doesn't need maintenance.

My Motivation:

High Edison bills. After discussing options it made sense to go solar. The payback period was so quick and once the system was paid off I would be enjoying free energy. Not to mention the increased home value!

Advice:

Do it! Your paying Edison for electricity as long as you're living. Might as well invest in your own solar system even if it means financing. In the long run it pays for itself.

Experience with Installer:

Awesome! Walked me through what to expect with the install and interconnection. When they hit an obstacle with the city they kept me updated and resolved quickly. Highly recommend!
