Its been a year since our system has been turned on. Other than our minimum charge by the power company - about $19.50 per month - we have paid ZERO for electricity supplied by the power company.<br /><br />Our system was installed by Ross Solar through the Energize CT program which combined with federal tax credits made for a very affordable system. Our 5.5KW system ended up costing us $9500 out of pocket. In our first year, our system offset $500 in purchased power, with about 1500kw of surplus power which will be purchased by the power company at wholesale rates. This savings is equivalent to making 5% on our investment. The system will add at least $15,000 to the value of our house, which the town does not tax.<br /><br />Ross Solar did a great job on the design and installation of our system. Two other vendors actually didn't want our project since they deemed it too small or not cost effective!!<br /><br />Ross Solar was great to deal with and I highly recommend them.
