I have solar and power my house 100% with it. everything is electric, including heat and stove. I haven't seen a utility bill in 4 years other than a credit for surplus i've produced
Wow, seems great. A few questions if you do not mind.
Can I have the name of the system, model number? Who built it. Can you take some pics and post them?
Can I know roughly, where your house is, in a city, in the country, on a farm?
How many square feet is your house.
Do you use air conditioning all summer, all day and all night?
How much did it cost, did you get tax credits? How was it paid for? Lease, Bought, Rented? Financed.
How much surplus do you generate, in KWH's?
my house is rated net zero. yep, I use heat, AC what ever as needed. all year long all night and day. I generate about 2500 kwh surplus per year. the house is in a suburb. the system is owned. I installed the panels, the electrical hookups as required by law were done by a licensed electrician and hook up to the grid by the power company. I have a 2nd system on the house which is off the grid and has battery storage. all that powers now is the all season porch but I have lines run to all critical equipment in the event of a long term power failure. but for the most part that system is back up and is not currently powering heat, AC or appliances .
