Burrington's SOLAR EDGE
Join us for some FUN WITH THE SUN ... (your solar choice since 1991)
Got PV Incentive??
WOW, see it for yourself
Burrington's Solar Edge chosen as an
eligible
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 both a connection which 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 $10/watt--that means a 1000 watt ( 1 Kw)
system would list for $10,000 and your cost with the CT incentive deducted, plus
allowance for the 30% federal tax credit,
should run $5,775. However, unique situations (adding battery back-up or
customized equipment), difficult installations (high roofs or long wire runs),
volatile equipment markets (unexpected price increases due to current PV
equipment shortages), could mean $12/wattfor a $12,000 retail price (~$7175 out
of pocket expense). Although perfect orientation, angle,and lack of shading imply a $1,750
Where's the fine
print?
You may have noticed under the
“solar rebate
information“ at the www.ctcleanenergy.com web page for residential solar PV,
a solar site analysis is required as part of the application documents. The
discounted fee for this is $95.00 for the initial, informal, visit which is credited towards near-future purchases
from Burrington's Solar Edge. In addition, you will submit proof of a home
energy audit done within the last three years.
Should you require a formal write-up of the site analysis for one of the other vendors, the cost is presently $175.00
