Solar Power in Action
We started this site to educate our family and friends on solar energy. As prices of gas and oil skyrocket, we wanted to show that clean, renewable power from the sun is a real, proven option for homeowners.
Photovoltaic Panels
55 Kyocera 187-Watt high-efficiency multicrystal PV modules — 45 on the main roof and 10 on the garage. Each panel comes with a 25-year warranty.
Grid-Tied Inverters
Three FRONIUS inverters connect directly into National Grid, our local utility. When the sun shines, our electric meter actually spins backwards.
Clean Energy
Our system replaces power that would otherwise be produced by coal, oil, and natural gas plants — reducing our family's carbon footprint every single day.
~13,000 kWh/Year
Our 10.285 kW/DC system was designed to produce approximately 13,000 kilowatt-hours per year — enough to power a typical Rhode Island home.
System at a Glance
147,073 kWh and Counting
Since installation in the summer of 2005, our solar array has quietly generated clean electricity for over two decades — powering our home and feeding surplus back to the grid.
