Solar installations in WH

As we approach the SolarizeWH kickoff workshop on September 30 at 7PM in Town Hall we will profile some of the systems that our residents have installed now.
In this post the owner shares a picture of the readout from their system.

Mike and I put a few solar panels on our house in February 2013.  The state of CT has incredible incentives and along the way we’ve enjoyed getting rebates, lots of energy efficiency upgrades and tax incentives from the Federal government. 

Each year we do a little more to make our Colonial built in 1929 more energy efficient, and this was our first experience installing alternative (free) energy.   It’s actually a lot of fun to look at an app (see above) and see hour-by-hour how much energy we’ve made and how much we’ve used. 

Our kids are proud too.  We never wanted our kids to say to us, “you knew the effect of burning fossil fuels and you did nothing??”
