What You Need to Know
Description:
We have 35 REC panels installed on our roof. Our roof is very sunny - perfect for solar. We have Enphase microinverters under each panel.
Other Benefits:
Our system is sized to overproduce our usage. We are looking forward to a check each year from our utility!
Maintenance Requirements:
We have not had any issues with our system. We have not had them through a winter yet but the team at Centauri was super helpful in answering all our questions about how we can handle snow when it comes. They have been so wonderful about answering all our questions, even after installation.
My Motivation:
1 - to lock in the cost of energy 2 - to benefit the environment 3 - to increase the value of my house
Advice:
Make sure that any company you work with can answer all your questions quickly and thuroughly. Centauri Systems was great about getting back to me, sometimes within minutes.
Experience with Installer:
Our experience with Centauri was outstanding. The fact that their installation crew isn't subcontracted and the inclusion of a 30 year warranty through SolarInsure with all their projects - it was a no brainer!
Additional Notes:
We were super impressed with how quickly the team at Centauri Systems was with the installation. Over the course of 2 days the entire system was installed with every detail cared to so that we'd have an asthetically pleasing set up.
