We live in a rural area and wanted to switch to solar power. We invited three well-known companies to bid on our project: a ground mounted 8.680Kw DC/7.555Kw AC CEC rated system. The bids were comparable. However, Applied Solar Energy was the only one that suggested, because we had the ground space, increasing the number of panels to 28 and using less efficient but cheaper panels. We were pleased with this option as it saved us money. When it came time to install, there was a larger inverter that came on the market and we were able to use this instead of two inverters and this saved us money as well. Applied Solar Energy was very up to date on the materials available.<br /><br />The entire crew was very professional and polite. They always left the site clean and picked up. We felt comfortable when the crew was out here working. There was good communication with the company.<br /><br />In the six months that the system has been operating, our PG&E bill is at minus $896. We are very pleased!
