Ground mount installed 2017, roof mount 2019.  System paid off Oct 2023.  The utility literally pays me!

We bank approximately 5MWh each summer, and draw on it in winter via 1:1 net metering in Maryland.

Additional efficiencies include heat pump water heater, inverter mini-split HVAC, dual-stage central HVAC, and extra blown insulation.

The property, with plenty of solar on pretty much everything.


Solar is lucrative.  Not only do I have $6 electric bills, but SREC and utility payments are free cash money! (as of 02-07-2025)
