Comments on: How do I sell solar power to a utility company ? http://www.residentialsolarpanels.org/sell-solar-power-utility-company Sat, 21 Jan 2012 13:57:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: RB28 http://www.residentialsolarpanels.org/sell-solar-power-utility-company/comment-page-1#comment-1772 RB28 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 20:03:57 +0000 http://www.residentialsolarpanels.org/?p=41#comment-1772 We installed a 4.6Kw system 15 months ago. The system was designed to provide 100% of our needs electric power. About year before the system was installed we conducted an energy audit. Before we purchased our system we worked hard to reduce the amount of electricity we consume. Our conservation efforts combined with some tree trimming has resulted in a surplus (~15%). Instead of Selling our excess at whole sale prices we use the excess to replace other energy source. For example, I installed electric baseboards in a bedroom and an electric water heater in the kitchen. Our goal is to reduce natural gas usage by 20%. We installed a 4.6Kw system 15 months ago.

With real-estate in her area taking a substantial hit, I'm curious as to the prospects of not merely powering her home but generating a revenue stream from surplus energy generated. I'm not sure of regulatory restrictions at this point, but where can I go to better understand the feasibility of an investment.

In most areas more that double the cost to purchase from the utility. Since 2006 Tennessee residential and commercial utility customers can get paid for producing power with solar and wind.

You can buy a good 180w solar panels around $400 to $500 each that does not include installation, however you can install them yourself people do it all the time. There are also many different solar panel wattage but the higher the wattage and quality of the solar panel the more expensive it's gonna be I might be wrong but I believe the highest solar panel you can buy(unless you make one yourself) is 180w. So use this info you're own custom calculation in price, I hope this info helps for pricing. Also if you do go solar congrats now here is an important tip, they require a lot of care and maintenance just like a dog. They need to be washed more than twice a week or if left unattended then they will eventually loose their quality in performance I've seen it happen to a lot of people.
