First of all, let me say that we are lucky because the house is energy efficient to begin with. And we are really frugal with our utilities. But, having said that, we generate electricity with our solar array and the utility company has owed us $22 a month for the past two months. We'll just let the credit accru all thru the warm months and use it for the winter as we use more electricity then.
Here are some pictures of our solar array. This is phase one, we are actually planning on adding more in the future. It'll be great to actually get a check at the end of the year from the utility company!!! And it's really, really nice to have eliminated our utility bills.
If anyone is interested, hubby LOVES to talk about it and will talk anyone thru it. You just gotta have a sunny place as even the smallest shade makes a big difference in electricity produced.
(We have eliminated the tops of the wooden supports since this picture as it negatively impacted our production due to them shading the panels.)
