The homeowner purchased the system to dramatically reduce the almost $20,000 annual electricity bill and contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. The system will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 95,000 lbs per year (equivalent to almost 13 acres of trees) and provide an estimated annual savings of over $17,500 at current utility rates. The system has a projected lifetime savings of $698,052. This grid tied system is eligible for the Southern California Edison Self-Generation Incentive Program as well as State tax incentives, reducing the installed cost by approximately 56%. "GenSelf and SunWize worked together to design a system that would be economically feasible and qualify for the utility rebate program," stated Gordon Bloom, project manager for GenSelf Corporation. "We are very excited about the results. Partnering with SunWize and Sharp Electronics has helped propel our incredible growth. All three enterprises were instrumental in the procurement and execution of this showcase installation."
Sharp uses a mutli-silicon technology to provide high-power modules suitable for residential and commercial grid-tied applications. Ron Kenedi, general manager, Solar Systems Division, Sharp Electronics Corporation, commented, "Sharp is very pleased to have participated in this precedent-setting, residential installation. Sharp is the world's leading manufacturer of solar energy products, and we are committed to helping make solar a viable energy option for an increasing number of Americans both at home and work," he said.
