Residential and commercial solar
 

I have a 10 KW residential solar array on my home from Altenergy and a 20 KW commercial array on my business from SunTribe which we plan to expand.   In both cases these systems have performed very well and helped modulate my energy bills, particularly in the energy intensive winter and summer months.   The supplemental solar production has allowed me to expand production at work without increasing our tracked carbon footprint,  which is important to our customer base.   I also appreciate how solar limits the need for additional regional power plants as it helps reduce grid consumption during peak load periods while proving quality jobs in solar for engineers and installation crews.   We should definitely expand solar generation (and other clean energy) incentives and look towards a future of distributed generation and storage.  Sincerly, Mike Hughes
