We have a perfect set-up for solar. Our house faces north and the back of the house has the perfect southern exposure. They did an energy audit and came up with the perfect power set-up.
Our July electric bill was $155.
Our system was installed in August making Sept the first full month of service - $27 was all we owed the FPL which is the minimum cost be hooked up to the power grid. We had zero out of pocket and under 1% financing. Our Payment is $85/month.
We would have to give that to FPL every month Anyway.
But we kept $43 in net savings we didn't have to fork out.
Sept was a far rainier month than July, which had our A/C running overtime.
With the panels on the south side of the house, I believe it helps keep the house cooler too. The gap between the panels and the roof allow airflow that makes the attic cooler.
As power rates go up and up, the savings will too!
They did a great job and lived up to their promised output from their panels.
I adamantly respect their integrity and recommend them to anyone looking at adding solar in the Treasure Coast area.
