"It was just a little over a year ago that Gro Solar finished the installation of the 4.5kw Solar Project on our house. I thought it would be a good time to do some evaluations and see what my true saving was. Let me lay some background. I had electric hot water heater, cloths dryer, stove, microwave, light and other normal stuff. We were using oil hot air heat but after the energy audit decided to switch to a Heat Pump with and electric back up system. Our oil cost was $3400 a year and our electric was $3168 a year. This totaled $6568. During this past year our electric bill was $1975. Considering this was one of the coldest winters and this summer was on of the hottest we were still able to save $4593. The cost of the heat pump was about $10,000 with the state of New Jersey giving us 50% back within 90 days of install. The savings basically paid for the cost of the heat pump in one year. On the Solar side we spent about $39,000 with the stage grant paying $7980. We have received over $6000 in Federal tax credits this year and expect to get the remaining $6000 next year. We have also received the first 2 payments totaling $2000 from selling our SREC. So we are down to $17020. With $2500 a year from SREC sales a for the next 4 years we are down to $7020. With energy savings over those same 4 years of about $4000 a year we should be ahead of the game by about $8980. Thank you for your assistance in getting all the details worked out. It was a pleasure working with you and Gro Solar." Sincerely, Bruce Pollard Our Valued Partnership We've created this page to help you inspire and teach your friends and loved ones about solar power.
