Solar Panels

We have had solar panels installed in

our home by SureTemp. They did a great

job and immediately

responded when we had questions.

We purchased 4000 watts of solar

panels, and a solar hot

water heater system.

The electricity it generates does NOT go into

a battery. It goes into the grid, so

Lee County Co Op Electric put in

a special meter. When we produce

electricity it calculates what we

make and subtracts that from what

we use, then bills us.

In May our electric bill was $20!!

The panels cost $34,000

We received $10,000 rebate from

the Federal government. We are

suppose to receive another

$14,000 from the state. However,

I understand that we are being

held hostage to our elected

officials...if we allow for drilling

off shore of Florida, they'll release

the money...mmmmm...wish

someone would verify that for me.

Anyway, thus far the panels have

cost us $24,000. If we get our

state rebate, they will have

cost us $10,000.

However, beyond all of the financial

aspect, just knowing that I'm

cutting back on the use of oil

makes me feel good. I'm not

supporting the Muslim oil world,

I'm not damaging the environment,

and I still have electricity.

FEELS GOOD!

If you'd like to put up solar panels,

or even just solar hot water

(hot water consumes a lot of electricity)

we had such a good relationship with

SureTemp that we have no

problem recommending them.

They are based in Ft. Myers,

but work all over the state.

They now have a program of

leasing the panels...check it out:
