Other Benefits:
Could be great and zero out my $400./month power bills,,so not yet since 2015

Cant get them to even call, let alone service anything they did, DON'T RECAMEND
Efficiency or Sustainability Improvements:
FULL HOME UPGRADE TO TOP OF THE LINE FURNACE,A/C,INSULATION BLOWN IN,SILVER PAINT TO KEEP ATTIC COOLER, BIGGER EXHAUST FAN ON TIMERS, BETTER WINDOWS, OVER 60,000 SPENT TRYING TO HAVE ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT.
My Motivation:
Wanted zero CARBON FOOTPRINT
Advice:
DON'T USE SOLAR UNION, BUT IT IS NICE IN SUMMER TO NOT FEEL GUILTY ON A/C ECT,BUT MY BAD EXPERIENCE ISN'T ANY REASON NOT TO GO GREEN, ONE DAY I'LL SAY HOW GREAT IT IS TO NOT HAVE TO PAY ELECTRICAL BILLS ANYMORE, A MORE COMPETENT COMPANY WOULD HAVE FIXED THIS ASAP, NOT TURN AWAY PAID CLIENTS,I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, CAN'T BE.
Experience with Installer:
Installers were ok had to know what to say when they tried to take easy way for the works.
Additional Notes:
Well above most likely says it all, if you need my Attorney's name for Solar Union, he's become a Solar expert, too bad my 1st time with energy Sage, they never followed up, I started having issues on install when paid for 7.5kw (they designed), and saw a 6kw inverter, being installed, but was told by Ivan of Solar Union that he knew more than me, apparently not.!!!$$$$$
Open House Info:
If and when ever done sure all is top quality, once all is working.
