It's been a little over 6 months since we installed our SunRun Solar System working with REC Solar. We don't have any particular "Green" agenda, nor do we like the government ever mandating how we keep the lights on at our house.
While the politicians in Washington yack about grandiose solar systems and wind farms, the fact is like politics, the solar energy solution is local, local, local.
First of all every bit of the experience has exceeded expectations from initial meeting with the sales person to installation and the huge amounts of power were generating. Plus the emission we're not spewing into the air. We've also reached the point where we've generated more power than we've used, so at the end of the year we'll get a credit back from the power company.
Approval from our HOA took less than 24 hours.
Best of all, we didn't have to lay out any money at all. We decided on the leasing option, the monthly cost being about half of what we paid for energy. A win right out of the gate. And should we ever decide to sell our house, we'll pay off the lease and be able to market the house saying "Free Electricity."
During the current heat wave of multiple days of 100+ degree temperatures we're running our AC and fans without fear of a monster electric bill.
Here's what our system has done by the numbers:
1. Total power generated: 4,804 kWh.
2. Net energy used: -275 kWh
3. Carbon Dioxide NOT spewed into the atmosphere: 5,284 pounds.
4. Nitrogen Oxide NOT spewed into the atmosphere: 16.45 pounds.
5. Sulfur Dioxide NOT spewed into the atmosphere: 4.8 pounds.
We are lucky in that the part of our roof that has the 24 solar power panels on it faces due south and has no obstructions to we generate power from first light through dusk. But systems can be configured to make solar a winner where you live. Companies like SunRun and REC Solar are also looking into the concept of "Solar Gardens" where a group of homeowners for instance, can share a solar system.
Like everything else, the Free Enterprise system works just fine, including with solar power.
