We have installed a 4KW photovoltaic array, a solar thermal domestic hot water system and a solar thermal space heating system. We are about to install more PV's to boost the solar electric production and crank the net meter backwards a bit more to accomodate a plug hybrid vehicle in the near future!

  • Very nice. Go for the Volt - the array on this site by Colin more than powers it - I calculated the 25 Mwh produced so far would run my Volt 62,500 miles!. I love the parabolic setup - always good sun for some of them.
