We completed installation of our Artisan solar system in March of 2015. We paid it off in January of 2018 with a residual payment of $6,661. The rest of the total $42,676 cost was paid off from IRS tax rebates, Washington state production payments and 34 monthly payments to our solar loan ($4,428 per year principle & interest).<br /><br />Further, we had substantial savings on our electricity bill from Puget Power. Over that time we never paid for kilowatt hours (kWh) more than two months of the year because of "banking" excess kWh hours for 6 months of the year.<br /><br />We have had no problems with the system during this time.<br /><br />This has been one of the most profitable investments we have ever made. I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking "going solarZ." Not only is it a good investment it is the "green thing to do."
