CT Solar Insight Hello everyone, welcome to a Discussion Page for CT Renewable Energy! Anybody is welcome to engage

02/08/2023

Thanks to all who have followed the page, and feel free to ask any questions that come to mind!

So far we've covered a few varying topics, and still have a lot to go!

For a brief update, this past week, a lot has changed. The economy has impacted Energy Costs throughout CT as a whole, and most are starting to notice the impacts on their current billing cycle. We've also noticed a major shift in Bank Rates within the industry, as they are also being affected.

For the best results in these programs, it would be recommended to reach out as soon as possible.

Best wishes and Regards,
CT Solar Insight

***A LOOK INTO THE INDUSTRY***

As we've seen the past few years, our economy has shifted quite a bit. Unlike Real Estate, Solar (as an Industry) is generally RECESSION PROOF.

However, the Bank(s) for financing are extremely volatile. You can expect changes in rates, especially for Dealer/Lender Fee's and Interest Rates.

HAVE NO FEAR, HIGH INTEREST RATES DON'T MEAN MORE MONEY BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

***GOOD RULE OF THUMB FOR FINANCING SOLAR; IF THE INTEREST RATE IS HIGH, THE LENDER FEES (fee for borrowing the money) ARE LOWER. YOU CAN ALWAYS REFI SOLAR INTO THE HOME IF YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT LENDER***

Hope this info reaches you well, we look forward to hearing from you. Feel free to engage, like, comment and share!

***AVAILABILITY***

TRANSPARENCY IS KEY.

The programs available to you, are as follows.

Cash Buyout - Avoids Dealer Fee's, organized installments over the course of the Project; Typical Pay Structure is:
10% Down
40% Upon Install
40% Upon Inspection
10% Upon Activation

Pros: MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO ENCOMPASS RENEWABLE ENERGY, OWNERSHIP TO TAX CREDIT, ROI OF 4-7 YEARS
Cons: OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE

Finance - Finance an HIL (Either Construction or Utility Loan), typically transferable (see if Const. Lien was filed or UUC-1 Utility Filing), no Pre-Payment Penalties (ROI 5-8 Years).

Pros: OWNERSHIP RIGHTS, LENDER WARRANTIES, ITC AVAILABILITY
Cons: POTENTIAL LIEN (IF NOT FILED UNDER A UCC-1), LENDER FEE'S AND INTEREST

Traditional Lease - Forfeit ITC Collection, no buyout clauses, 5 year Terms after initial Agreement is fulfilled. Typically includes 2.9% Inflation Escalator

Pros: NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE
Cons: NO OWNERSHIP RIGHTS, NOT INFLATION PROTECTED

'EZ' PPA - Technically a Leasing Program, company ownership, basically switching your supplier to Lender for a much lower combined (supply+delivery) rate, and is Fixed Value Billing for easy budgeting. Typically has a Buy-Out Clause for a FMV Purchase after 5 years.

Pros: NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE, IMMEDIATE SAVINGS ON UTILITY COST, CONSIDERED UTILITY FOR DTI AND SELLING PROPERTY,
Cons: TYPICAL 2.9% INFLATION ESCALATOR, FORFEIT RIGHTS TO COLLECT TAX INCENTIVE

Traditional PPA - Same as an 'EZ' but you're billing fluctuates depending on the amount of power consumed for the Billable Cycle Term.

Pros: SEE 'EZ PPA'
Cons: SEE 'EZ PPA'

BASA (Buy All Sell All) - Leasing program that allows you to collect a "Space Fee" from a company to use your home as a Grid Energy Provider.

Pros: GET PAID TO PUT SOLAR ON YOUR ROOF
Cons: FORFEIT OWNERSHIP RIGHTS TO POWER AND SYSTEM, NO BUYOUT CLAUSE, NO TAX INCENTIVE AVAILABILITY

We encourage you to shop around and find a reputable way to adopt Renewable Energy, in a means that FITS YOU SPECIFICALLY!

There are no "One Size Fits All" for Solar, feel free to reach out or engage if you're curious about which option is best for you. Virtual Consultations available upon request with ABSOLUTELY NO OBLIGATION!

***SOLAR FUN FACTS***

Did you know there is an International Solar Law and Code? That's right, Solar is HEAVILY REGULATED!

All Products available to you in CT, have to be what is known in the Industry as Tier 1. That means, the manufacturer DOESN'T MATTER when deciding which product is best for your home, because they all have to meet the same minimum Yields and Specifications.

A Tier 1 Panel is capable of OVERPRODUCING by 30% in a perfect atmosphere, basically getting more power from less panels!

We do REMOTE ASSESSMENTS if you are curious about what option(s) you qualify for! That's right, NO NEED FOR A REP TO PHYSICALLY COME TO YOUR HOUSE!

Let us know your thoughts, and feel free to engage!

***HOW SOLAR WORKS***

Technology for Solar Panels today is formally known as Monocrystalline, as opposed to outdated manufacturing styles known as Polycrystalline.

Solar Panels create power through UV Rays, not LIGHT. The heat from UV Rays excites Electrons within the cell; creating a steady and predictable pattern for electrical current.

DC Power created in the Panel is then converted to AC Power for home consumption in 1 of 2 separate ways; Micro-Inverters, or Single Phase String Inverters. Both are acceptable to use in Connecticut, however Micro-Inverters can potentially be more efficient (but might come at an extra cost).

Power will first be dispersed as necessary throughout the home, while excess is put back into the Grid for use when panels aren't actively generating power.

CT State has a 1:1 Net Metering Law (as of right now). This means, your excess power generated is stored for you to use at a later time, at no extra charge. They pay an equal rate for power consumed as they do for power generated.

Feel free to engage if you have any questions about Power Generation, Power Conversion, or Net Metering in your area!

***KNOW YOUR MARKET***

Eversource and United Illuminated have both announced in 2020 what the Energy Projections are for CT.

CT Energy Contract Terms are changed and calculated on 2 day(s) in the year. January 1st and July 1st.

You can expect a MINIMUM of 4% as an increase to the rates you pay, EVERY 6 MONTHS!

As we've seen this January, your Supply has increased by 17% overnight, and Delivery had a 150% increase for everything over 700kWh you consume on that billing cycle.

STOP THE MADNESS, AND PROTECT YOURSELF!

***TRUTH BEHIND SOLAR***

***DON'T LET CONTRACTORS CONVINCE YOU THERE IS A 1 SIZE FITS ALL PROGRAM***
