Situation
A Harmony, PA resident had a large 100+ acre farm that also included a detached garage and separate barn. With three buildings on the property, the utility bills for this customer were extremely high.
Problem
With rising electric, coal and gas prices continuing to soar, utility costs for this customer would spiral completely out of control.
Action
Desperately in need of reducing his utility bills, this customer contacted us to inquire what his renewable energy options were, and to find how we could help him.
Solution
We installed a 1.9kW wind turbine in the field near his house. The turbine stands on a 65ft monopole, and required roughly a $20,000 customer investment after incentives.
Savings
The wind turbine that we recommended and installed produces enough electricity to lower this customer’s monthly utility bill by 25%.
Situation
A customer diagnosed with terminal cancer dreamed of installing a solar array on his home to help his family with its mounting utility bills.
Problem
With concern about rising electricity costs and the environment, this customer was highly motivated to install a solar array on his family’s home. However, the high up-front investment for installation made the decision difficult.
Action
In need of help in how to bring his dream to fruition without making such a large initial investment, he came to Vox. We helped him discover that Pennsylvania offered a rebate that reduced the cost of his system by 35%, as well as recommended the appropriate solar array to fit his needs and budget.
Solution
We installed a 28 panel solar system on this customer’s home.
Savings
Our customer’s family currently spends around $60 per year on electricity, an amount less than most families spend per month.
Situation
A family in Lower Burrell, PA built their dream home.
Problem
Unfortunately, this new home required a large amount of electricity, and they wanted to reduce their utility bills.
Action
We were able to locate a spot on their roof ideal for solar panels.
Solution
While the space is small, our highly experienced team was able to design and install a twelve panel system that helped this family reduce its utility bills.
Savings
Even though this solar array is very small, it reduced this family’s utility bills by 20%.Combining these savings with the value of Solar Alternative Energy Credits, will allow this family to pay off the system’s installation cost in less than nine years. A solar system typically lasts 30 years, giving this family approximately 21 years of free electricity from their solar system.
*Although these are actual figures taken from our customers, each individual situation is different with many variables, including varying electricity rates, qualifying incentives and specifications of the install, including trenching and special equipment requirements.
