What You Need to Know
Description:
26 solar panels and 26 inverters located on the south side of my shop. The system is projected to supply 94% of my annual electricity for both my shop and home.
Other Benefits:
Reduced carbon footprint and electricity increases in the future will have little to no impact on my monthly electric bill.
Maintenance Requirements:
System is brand new and officially went online May 4, 2022. The solar panels and inverters come with a 25 year warranty.
My Motivation:
I was motivated to go with solar panels in order to reduce my environmental footprint, save money and increase the value of my home.
Advice:
Act now if you're considering solar to take advantage of the state and federal tax credits, as they are projected to be going away in the near future. I wish that I had purchased my solar system last year because of an even larger federal tax credit.
Experience with Installer:
The process of choosing a solar contractor was fairly straightforward. I contacted my current energy provider via their website and was able to get valuable information. I also perused the internet and located EnergySage which was a great help.
