What You Need to Know
Description:
7.320 kW PV System. Unique in that the house being a barn style, the lower section is extremely steep, which is optimal for Winter Production. The upper part of the roof is much less pitched which makes it ideal for Summer production. So really is an optimum system.
Other Benefits:
Relatively high visibility, helping to promote Solar
Maintenance Requirements:
Pretty much Zero. If something fails they come out and fix it, but other than that there is no maintenance required
Efficiency or Sustainability Improvements:
New Roof, Windows and Doors. Energy efficient appliances.
My Motivation:
