(Klamath Falls, OR)– Sunlight Solar Energy and Ed-Pat Electric completed and commissioned a 4.1 kilowatt solar electric array on a residence at the Running Y Ranch in Klamath Falls. The 20-panel grid-tied system will produce over 5,000 kilowatt-hours of solar electricity annually.
Jeff Blick, Lead Installer of Sunlight Solar Energy notes that, “Our customer will enjoy the financial and environmental benefits of this project for decades. While we don’t exactly know how fast electricity rates will increase in the future, Mr. Davenport can rest assured knowing that his solar electricity is now available at a fixed rate for at least the next 25 years.”
Incentives and rebates available for this system include:
• The Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2.00 per watt, or $8,200 total
• The State tax credit of $1500/year over four years, totaling $6,000
•The Federal tax credit of $2,000 taken the investment year
As an additional environmental benefit, this PV system will help offset approximately 10,000 lbs of greenhouse gases annually. This is equivalent to not driving 12,000 miles in a gasoline-fueled motorized vehicle, or the planting of 955 new trees.
