Carol and Susan both went solar back in May 2020 in Chino Valley, Arizona. Their systems both consist of REC 290-watt solar panels.

System Size: 9.3 kW

Module Type: REC 290

Inverter:  Fronius Primo

 

What was your main motivation to go solar?

Carol: Saving money, but also I want to do my part in helping with the environment.

Susan: I liked the idea of not dealing with APS. I liked the idea of being able to be primarily self-sufficient on power and not depending on them and it helps the Earth.

What is the best part of having solar? 

Carol: Getting my bill and seeing that I have a credit rather than having to pay a bunch of money.

Susan: Everything. I love the system, I love the way it looks, and the production of it is great. I think that John when he designed the system, was right on what we needed.

What was the most enjoyable part of the process of going solar?

Carol: Meeting your representative John. He is great I’ve called him a couple of times recently and he’s always been so helpful. I haven’t met anyone that isn’t really nice that has come out here. I’ve always been so excited about getting this, it’s something that I’ve wanted for a long time and I couldn’t have it when I was living in my mobile home in California because it was too old- ever since I moved here I’ve been really excited about getting it.

Susan: The guys that came out were friendly and communitive. They blended right into the family, we offered water and they were gracious. They weren’t offensive in the work they need to do, they were courteous, that was the most enjoyable thing because I’m not really big on having strangers in my space and they blended right in.

Solar Installation in Flagstaff, AZ, Andy V

9.3 kW ground mount Rooftop Solar system in Flagstaff, Arizona consisting of 32 REC 290-watt panels and a Fronius Primo inverter.

5 stars

“Rooftop installed a big ground mount solar unit for us. They used their magic box to determine ideal angles and location. Installation was completed last year and I haven’t had any issues with it, but have been saving a bundle of $$ by replacing propane and gas (car) by switching cars and appliances to electric. It more than pays for my electric bill.”

What was your main motivation to go solar?

While I appreciate the value of renewable/green energy, my main motivation was financial. This solar installation alone was pretty good value, but the tax credit makes it a financial no-brainer. My tax credit was large enough that I was able to replace my home appliances and heating with electric and also buy a cheap electric car. And now the payments I am making on the solar loan are significantly less than what I was paying for heating gas, car fuel, and electricity put together.

What is the best part of having solar? 

I love looking out the window at the solar panels soaking in the sunshine. Here in Arizona, we love our few rainy and snowy days, but now seeing my panels drink in the photons is a great feeling too. When I first got the solar installed, I would keep the app up on my screen and see realtime how much energy we were pulling down. The second best part is watching the credits pile up on my APS “bill.”

What was the most enjoyable part of the process of going solar?

Some people may want to get into a lot of the technical details about panel types, placements, etc. I, however, preferred to have the Rooftop engineers and techs come up with the best solutions. They would give me all the plan details, but I happily deferred to their expertise and let them do all the work. They did a fantastic job, and I have no regrets whatsoever.
