Description
Summary:When the state and federal programs to incentivize installing photovoltaic panels for electricity began, we had PV solar panels installed for solar electricity, which paid for themselves in under 10 years. When we had photovoltaic (PV) panels installed in 2010, we held a workshop for neighbors interested in the application process, the state and federal financial incentives, and the system of selling back excess solar energy to the electric company. Today, going all electric with solar panels (an option not available in 1981) for heating and cooling, hot water and cooking, together with passive solar house orientation and maximal insulation with fresh air input, is the environmental ideal for new home and building design.
