Solar On and Generating Power

APS showed up on Friday to inspect our solar panels and the electrical work.

Everything looked good so they connected the solar panels to our electrical system. We are now generating our own power.

This is a Smart Meter. It runs forward and backward. When it is running backward, we are suppling electricity to the power company. At the end of a year, if we have generated more than we used, we receive a refund check.

We will get a power company rebate and a federal tax credit for installing the panels. We expect our electrical bill to be 80% less.
