The Case Overview
Patricia D. from Derby, CT, chose to install a 5.04 kW solar panel system with Green Power Energy, producing 6,113 kWh annually and offsetting 9,023 lbs. of CO2. Faced with rising electricity costs and concerns about power grid reliability, she switched to solar as a cost-saving solution with the added security of a battery backup. She paid for the system in full and claimed a 26% Federal ITC. Patricia is impressed with her system’s performance, noting that her solar panels and battery setup effectively powers her home and significantly reduces her electric bills.
Motivation for installing solar panels:
“Electricity in Connecticut is going higher, higher and higher. I wanted to go solar for a cost saving method and have battery backup in case of a power outage so I am covered. I also went solar for an unconventional reason of worry about the power grid and how easy it is to trip it. I figured I want to have something in place so I have solar energy coming through.”
Overall solar experience:
“The system has been doing really well. I am even surprised about how much I am producing right now. I started in late August and my solar and batteries are totally running the home with no problem. When I get up in the morning I see that my solar is replenishing and producing power. I had my AC on all day in the first months and only had a few times where I was reliant on UI. My electric bills have been incredible, my first bill after the system was energized was $0.43 and my second bill was $0.”
