Solar panels take full energy producing advantage of two sides of this Roseville Minnesota rooftop. The 9.455kW photovoltaic energy production system will produce 11,277kWh its first year creating over 100% of the property owner’s home electricity use!! The thirty-six (36) 300 watt solar panel cells are a fixed mount system utilizing Q-Cell Modules and SolarEdge Inverter / DC Optimizers.

The entire solar process which includes contact, contract, construction, commissioning and closing occurred with a 4 month turnaround, and a March installation. The homeowners decided toward the end of the process to add an EV charging port for an electric car they were planning to purchase, which was easily accommodated by TruNorth Solar

After their solar system was commissioned or “turned on”, the homeowners were excited to be able to view what their actual carbon offset was for that day on the SolarEdge Monitoring App.

Because this Roseville Minnesota neighborhood is located within the Xcel Energy Utility area, the property owner enjoys cost savings provided by the Xcel Energy Solar Rewards Incentive. The net lifetime incentives which include the Federal Solar Tax Incentive actually covered over half of the contract price!

This residential solar project is also providing significant benefits to the environment. The PV array will produce enough clean energy kW’s to offset the greenhouse gas emissions from the following: Burning 8,356 coal lbs. per year, sequestering 6.37 forested acres per year, or driving 18,517 vehicle miles per year!

This solar energy system will very likely produce more electricity than can be used by the homeowner and when it does, the dollar value of the excess energy will be credited to their account and settled monthly with the local Net-Metering laws. In other words their electricity meter may actually run backwards!
