We had 49 solar panels installed on our barn roof in February. These panels will provide our home with all of our energy needs, in combination with the solar hot water panels on our house. We purposely built the barn with this side of the roof facing South to collect as much solar energy as possible. The electricity flows into a net meter, so when we are producing more energy that we are using, the meter actually flows backward and we "bank" electricity to use later. The return on investment is about 8-10 years, but these solar panels are guaranteed to last for 30 years! I'm really looking forward to paying $0 for electricity for a long, long time! The kids love to watch the meter numbers and cheer on our awesome solar panels. :)
