going solar
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2009 2:21 pm
We have decided to go solar and try to help the environment as well as our bottom line. This company we are dealing with has a plan to "lease" the solar panels for a monthly fee they install, maintain and repair the system.
The system we are getting is 7.7 kw. The total upfront cost to us is only $1000. (to buy a system runs around $40,000 to $60,000) then $288/mo. that is fixed and won't go up over the next 18yrs, it does go down each year about $10/mo. Since we spend around $400/mo now on power it will be a savings (we will still get an Edison bill, but it should be less then $100/mo)
The company, SunRun, is in Calif, AZ and Mass.
If you live in those areas and have been looking at solar, you might want to check it out.
I am sure there are other companies out there, if you look in the Internet.
