New Hampshire Couple With NO Electric or Hot Water Bills

Antrim, NH

A New Hampshire Couple recently installed a solar electric and hybrid hot water system for their new home. This new home was designed and built by Cedar Mill Group out of Webster, NH. Sundial Solar was brought in to eliminate this couple's electric bills and fossil fuel consumption. 

Sundial Solar installed a traditional solar panel system for the electric portion of the house. Then using a hybrid hot water system Sundial Solar was able to develop a system that allowed them to heat their hot water through solar energy.

Not only did this couple eliminate their electric and hot water bills, they reduced their consumption of fossil fuels. Their home is more self sufficient and they are less reliant on the grid. Not to mention the re-sell value of their new home instantly increased with the addition of the solar panel system. 

No matter what your goals are, Sundial Solar will work to develop a solar panel system that works for you and your needs. Summer is right around the corner, so contact us today to capitalize on the sun rays headed our way!

An Off the Grid Mountain Home

Bright Light Solar recently completed a solar panel installation in Bradford, NH. This mountain top cabin is now off the grid. Our system allows this property owner to heat the cabin, water, and supply enough electricity to support the cabin year round. The cabin is roughly 1700 square feet.

The system installed is 3.5kilowatts and is capable of retaining 4-5 days of battery capacity. You may be wondering why does it matter if the system has battery capacity? When designing a solar panel system for a property that needs to be “off the grid,” meaning it cannot be connected to the standard utility grid, there must be enough battery life to support a few cloudy days. It is also important that the battery system put in place is not so big that the solar panel system cannot support it. This property’s solar panel system can store enough energy for the home to last 4-5 days without sun.

To keep the cabin warm, a boiler system that uses solar hot water was installed to make sure the home stays warm during the harsh winter months.

Going off the grid is easier than you might think. Call Bright Light Solar today to discuss your solar energy needs! We can design a system for any property, commercial or residential! Our number is: (603) 961-0045

A Solar Dream Home

Center Barnstead, NH

Bright Light Solar recently completed a “net zero” solar panel installation for a stunning lake home in Center Barnstead, NH. A “net zero” home means that the amount of solar energy the home generates is roughly equal to the amount of energy the home uses in a year. What does this mean for the home owner? No more electric or hot water bills! You can see this beautiful home and the completed installation in the picture below.

In addition to saving on their utility bills, this homeowner was able to receive tax incentives, state rebates, and federal rebates to help cover the costs of installation. The common misconception with solar panels is that they are expensive to purchase and install. However, Bright Light Solar has thoroughly researched the various rebates, incentives, and money saving practices consumers have available to them to help reduce the costs of installation and maintaining the panels.

Once the panels are installed, consumers see a lifetime of savings on their energy costs. Some even earn money on the energy they generate by selling excess energy to the conventional grid. Worried about the resale value of your home if you install solar panels? According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, home values increase an average of $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills. (For more information click here) So if you save an average of $1,000 on your utility bills each year, that will add $20,000 of value to your home!

Whether you have a lake home, regular home, land, or a rental property there is a solar energy option available for you. Bright Light Solar is here to help you navigate the solar energy world. We are available at any time to discuss the various solar energy options and money saving incentives available to you.

An Oil Free Home

Dunbarton, NH

Bright Light Solar recently completed a 7.7KW (kilowatt) solar installation for a home in Dunbarton, NH. Before connecting with Bright Light Solar, this home was using oil to heat the home and their hot water. They were grid dependent for their electricity needs as well. With the help of Bright Light Solar, this home is now completely oil free and using solar for all of their energy needs.

We were able to install a system that will heat and cool their home and generate all their electricity needs. They are independently generating everything they need to keep their home running. 

We installed a ground mounted system. This means the panels are not installed on the roof but in the ground on the sunniest part of their property. You can see the completed project in the photo above. 

Ground mounted systems are a popular choice for those who have sunny spots of land on their property. Some even install ground systems to utilize group net metering and generate excess electricity to sell to the grid and consumers. To read more about group net metering check out our previous blog post by clicking here.

This home owner will receive numerous tax incentives for installing a solar panel system for their home. They will also have NO electric or oil bills anymore!

Another Home Goes “Net Zero”

A “Net Zero” energy building means that the total energy produced by the solar panel system covers ALL of the building’s energy consumption for both electricity and water heating. Bright Light Solar helped a residential home go “net zero” with the completion of a combination solar energy and solar hot water 6Kw (Kilowatt) system.

This home, located in Newington, will no longer need to use conventional energy and will be completely solar dependent. The completed system looked like this:

There are many benefits to a “Net Zero” home. Besides not being dependent on the conventional grid, you will see drastic reductions in your water heating and electric bills. There are also added rebates and tax incentives for “Net Zero” homes and businesses.

Here is what the customer, Dr. James, had to say about his installation:

"Your crew did a very good job. We are very happy with all the work they have done and the systems we have." - Dr. James. B.
