[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got a solar roof a few years back. Best investment ever.  
Pepco sends us a check for a few dollars every few months.

Also got an energy audit. And more insulation. Our house now is so comfortable (after all the measures suggested from the energy audit) that we are floored.[/quote]

We are now in our forever home and are looking to act now to make it comfortable.  We got the energy audit - it was very interesting - May I ask who did you get to do your insulation and were you happy with them.

We also had somebody come and talk to us about a solar roof. My dh wants to do it but we don;t know anyone first hand to ask about it.  you are obviously happy about it.  Who did you go with?  Did you put any $ down or just lease the panels, so to speak?

Thanks![/quote]

Solar City. For both (solar panels and insulation).  We leased for 30 years. Got federal, state and county rebates. Solar city did all the paperwork...everything.  The solar panels actually add another layer of insulation to the roof - making house cooler in summer and warmer in winter.  They are responsible for all maintenance. There is a guarantee of how much power it will generate. We are on the grid, so electricity that is produced and not used flows into the grid (so we are selling the extra electricity) - that balances out what we consume at night (when we are buying from Pepco).

Insulation made a tremendous difference to the comfort factor. Our consumption of electricity went down year round.  Very happy.
