So here is the first electrical bill from a customer that we did a grid tied solar installation on. It's a smaller system

5.89kW on a basic rambler home in Minnetonka MN. They have 19, 310 watt solar panels with APSystems QS1 micro inverters. This client did receive the federal tax credit on this installation and also has the Excel Solar Rewards Production Based Incentive applied. With the Solar Rewards incentive from Xcel they are receiving a .07 cent per kWh credit on their Xcel Energy bill for every kWh their system is producing.

Take a look at the monthly usage in KWH on their electrical bill. They had Xcel install their meters allowing us to go live on the 6th of August so they had a week of Xcel grid use in August then the rest of the month they have been running with their solar array in full operation. As you can see there was a major drop in the amount of electricity used from Xcel. We are fully expecting to see this customer see the annual energy production of their PV array to be at least equal to their usage for the year probably a little bit more. What does that mean to the bottom dollar?

July bill was $132

August was $23

The proof is in the production!
