What You Need to Know
Description:
There are 26 panels in my system and the goal is to meet 100% of my electric needs for the year. I have a strong southern exposure on the back of my house, so the system fit nicely on the back roof of my house.
My Motivation:
There are a number of reasons we made the move to solar power. First, we like the idea of producing our own energy. Having a smaller carbon footprint has been a goal for us. There was also a good tax credit incentive for our taxes coupled with the fact that RI does not add the value of our system to the taxed value of our home.
Advice:
Use Energy Sage to help navigate the process - if not for everything, at least doing research is a breeze, but they put us in contact with a great installer, and once we started the process, my only obligation was to be here on the day of the site evaluation and installation day.
Experience with Installer:
Green Power Energy, out of NJ, handled the job very capably. Every step of the process was clear, well-supported, and I never waited more than an hour or two for a response to my MANY questions. They were fantastic.
