After converting from a community propane system to an energy star heat-pump and all-electric appliances, we experienced a significant drop in energy cost. The next step was obvious. Our 5.5 KWh solar system was installed in two days, and about a week later the power company changed our meter to 2-way so we could feed our excess production back into the grid for credit. We can monitor energy production via a PC, and this also allows Longhorn Solar to make sure that the system is working properly. We have every confidence that the installed system will more than pay for itself, as the money we save on electricity bills will be more than the cost of servicing the loan. Also, the value of the house went up more than the cost of the system, so in the end we'll recover the total cost of the system, while still enjoying the monthly savings. Longhorn has been fair, proactive, and prompt, using high-quality German solar panels. Their IT person came to our home and set up the WiFi and PC.
