Our Solar System Update

Being there is a slight break in the bee action, I wanted to give you a one year overview on our 16.5 kwh solar system. It consists of 50 - 330 watt Panasonic solar panels. They were located on our garage and pole barn roofs.
 We added up all of our Xcel energy bills from last year, January through December, gas and electric. We then subtracted all of our solar credits and our renewable energy credits we get from Xcel. Last year our total 2019 Xcel energy bill that we paid, was $156.00.
 So for me, I would have to say solar is worth it. There is a big up front cost, but our solar should have paid for itself after about 8 years. The Panasonic panels warranty is 25 years. Guaranteed  92% minimum of 16.5 kwh output or they will replace any panels for free, parts and labor included.
 We have recently finished our ground mount solar panel install. We moved 28 panels off of our pole barn onto the ground mount. This will make it easier to get the snow off the panels, plus the ground mount also tilts and we can change the solar panel angle with the current sun angle. Video to come soon.
 If you are interested and have never seen our YouTube video here is a link.
