Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

Between state and federal rebates and tax credits, we ended up paying about 40% of the total cost to install our panels. We also were able to sign up for Srecs, which is like carbon credit only for electricity. Every quarter we send in our total KW production and receive $110 for each 1000, or something like that. I know we get a check for $660 every quarter. The way it works is we sell our electricity credits to a broker who then sells them to a utility company, which benefits from having solar provide some of its power.
