New Jersey Homeowners Turn to The Home Depot to Learn About Home Solar
August 11, 2010
New Jersey homeowners are excited about residential home solar.
Over 75 homeowners flocked to a recent after-work home solar workshop at a The Home Depot store in South Plainfield, New Jersey Tuesday, August 10th. They bonded over their current electricity bills and discussed residential solar power as an affordable and renewable solution for their rising energy costs. The interactive hour-long work-shop included a hefty question and answer session tackling some big solar questions, including:
Q: What is the best roof for solar?
A: The best roofs get several hours of sun a day, face south or southwest, and don’t have a lot of shade.
Q: How long will a home solar system last?
A: Most solar systems will last anywhere between 25 and 35 years.
Q: How long is my customer agreement and what happens at the end of it?
A: Your SunRun customer agreement lasts 20 years. At the end of your agreement, you can either purchase the solar equipment, renew your SunRun agreement, or we will remove the system at no cost to you.
Q: What if I move before the end of my SunRun agreement?
A: The solar system stays with the home. You can simply transfer the agreement to the new homeowner, who will then pay the same low rate for solar electricity, or purchase the system from SunRun and sell it with your home.
Q: How does SunRun impact my relationship with my utility company?
A: Your house will remain connected to the electricity grid and your utility for traditional electricity as needed. Your utility will credit you when your system produces more electricity than you use. You can use these credits to pull from the grid when you use more electricity than your system produces.
