What are your contact details

I wonder how Lindo’s is doing, funny how they have not gone public with their “savings”. Yes, I have heard the rumors.

I am pro solar and want these commercial installs to work, but the savings projections and numbers shown here are not at accurate at all. The residential numbers are in the ballpark but inflated about 10-15%. The commercial numbers outrageous.

A 6 moth billing cycle is not a big deal in the current scheme of things and this time frame actually assists the customer in the long run. The real winners here are the customer who has a zero balance on their bill and the general public who has less Belco exhaust fumes to breathe in.

There are many variables which contribute to the amount of energy that panels will produce; azimuth, tilt, reflection factors, air circulation, wire sizing, inverter efficiencies, temperature coefficient of the cells, etc… all of these variable must be taken into consideration when designing a system and predicting its energy production value. All systems i have installed are grid tied, meaning the customer is still connected to Belco and no batteries are required. This allows the customer to sell electricity to belco during the daylight hours when most residential system owners are away from their homes and the solar panels are generating at their peak efficiencies. The utility meter will register a credit when electricity is sent out to the grid. In the evening, when the sun has set, the customer will use up that credit as they pull energy from the grid. If the system has been designed correctly and there is enough roof or ground space available the customer can completely “zero” their electricity bill or even be in credit with Belco who will settle that credit at the end of a 6 month cycle by sending you a cheque.

The grid tied capabilities of solar systems have eliminated the necessity for expensive battery banks that need maintenance and eventually replacement. Yes, there is an up front cost for solar but as i stated previously I can provide financing and the system will eventually be paid off and then earn you money because of the 25 year warranty periods. This is in stark contrast to paying your Belco bill every month and never seeing a return on that money. Over 25 years a $300 monthly Belco bill adds up to $90,000….and this is if rates don’t go up for that 25 years.

I hope this helps. call me if you’d like to discuss further.

My inquiry is intended to be serious because the system you spoke about which saves $300 / month sounds amazing.

I’m assuming the $300 is on average, is this correct? I ask based on my limited knowledge that photo voltaic cells require x amount of sunlight to generate/store enough energy.

Would an owner of the solar cells still require Belco if they currently use ~ $250 on average per month?

In other words can I go solely solar? Sorry if it’s a stupid question… But you’ve peaked my interest because you made it sound affordable. A term I never related to solar power in BDA.

Thanks

Lets take this a bit further though, with financing provided through my company, you could have a system installed for no money down that produces $300 of electricity per month (at todays rate) but costs you less than that in loan payments, so from the first month you are cash flow positive. In a few years your system is paid off and then starts to give you a return on your investment. By contrast when you pay cash to belco – you calculated $25,200 over 7 years – you get zero return on paying that bill, that money is gone forever to help belco’s bottom line. I hope this helps to clarify. Let me know if you need to Larn some more!
