Burrington's Solar Edge (ELC #0195608-PV1)
chosen as an eligible dealer/installer for State of Connecticut
we look forward to helping you make it all happen
There has
been a lot of interest-
so, your patience is appreciated as we try to respond to each in order of receipt
( NOTE: providing an e-mail address helps in allowing an "odd" hour
reply while you sleep..)
Is PV
right for me?
Before scheduling a site visit, the owners
should review their buildings and property for areas
with south-southwest facing surfaces that have full sun exposure (at minimum) from 9 AM to 3 PM year round.
Partial shading from dormers, chimneys, vents, wiring, and vegetation have a dramatic impact
on
solar electric production, and should stay outside this area.
PV saves me money?
To help us better answer the question of "how much will I save" on my electric bill,
you'll need to provide us
with some details from monthly statements such as Kwhr
and daily use information.
Can I
have some power even when others do not?
Another item that the owner may wish to
consider is if they wish to have some "back-up" power
for any times
of utility outages. Critical loads such as well pump, boiler/furnace
circulators/blowers,
sump pump, home office or security systems are examples that may need power to continue to operate.
The simplest public utility "grid-tie" systems are intended to completely shut down
along with the public utility grid, but the choice of a slightly different inverter and a few batteries
can offer a connection which both interacts with the utility grid and yet provides some emergency power as needed
What's it going to Cost?
The "generic" retail price of an installed grid-tie only system averages $4-7/watt--that means that a contract written
for a 1000 watt (1Kw) PV system may be $6540 (list price of $7,000-less the estimated CT incentive of $460).
But, after a full 30% federal income tax credit, your out of pocket
cost is only $4578 for the 1000 watts PV (1 kW)
However, unique situations (adding battery back-up or customized equipment), Lease programs and ownership by third parties are alternative methods of installation finance
difficult installations (high roofs,long
wire runs)
,or, volatile equipment markets (unexpected price increases due to PV equipment shortages),
could mean as much as $10/watt. ($10,000 list price-with~$6678 net "out of pocket expense"). Although
perfect orientation, angle, and lack of shading imply an
estimated $460/kW
Connecticut incentive,
a less than perfect situation would result in a lower incentive.
which do not require a large initial payment, but will forefit the State incentives and federal income tax deduction.
Where's the fine print ?
You may have noticed under the "solar
rebate information" at the www.ctcleanenergy.com web page You cannot receive incentives for a system larger than your usage history, and (Should you require a formal write-up of the
site analysis for one of the other vendors, the cost is presently $295.00) IMPORTANT NOTICE Thank you for considering this new way to Do you have a solar question or wish to try a "solar rooftop" without the old style racks?
PV as part of the roofing? or skin on the RV?
