We worked with A&R Solar to add a 16.8kW iTek system to my roof, and had a great experience. In their proposal, they guaranteed that the system would cover at least 57% of our home energy usage, but the A&R electrician who installed the panels and showed us how to use the eGauge monitoring system estimated it would probably be over 100%. According to our initial readings from eGauge after the system started up around 12:30 PM today, our energy needs are more than covered by the solar panel output. The eGauge system also allows us to track exactly how much energy is being used by the various circuits throughout the house.<br /><br />Some of the other fun solar incentives: a Federal Income Tax Credit which will refund 30% of the full system price, the MACRS business depreciation tax rebate, and the annual incentives up to $5k per year which will be paid to us by PSE for all of the energy the system produces, including the energy we use. Nice.<br /><br />If you own property in the PNW and are interested in solar, I can't recommend A&R Solar enough. And if you use my name (Chelsea Rustad) as a referral, you get $500 off the cost of the system. Surprisingly enough, solar does work in WA -- very well.<br /><br />I had a fantastic experience with A&R Solar throughout the process and am happy to endorse!
