Bausum & Duckett offers full solar system design and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels that convert the sun’s energy into electricity for your home. Take advantage of the many rebates and incentives provided by Federal, state and local governments to help offset the installation of your new PV system for your home or business.
Grid-tied systems are the most common and produce power during the day typically when no one is home. This mid-day energy is sent back to the utility grid and you can watch your meter roll backwards during the day. Your excess solar energy is sold back to the utility at peak rates, giving you the highest value for the excess energy you generate. Each month your bill will be lowered by the amount of electricity your PV system has put back on the grid thru an agreement with the local utility called “Net Metering”. This will be a direct offset from the amount of electricity you use each month
Life expectancies and manufacturer warranties of over 25 years for residential solar power systems make them a long term “win-win” investment for your family’s future, your utility consumption and the environment.
Net Metering
Net Metering is mandated by the public service commission to allow for the excess electricity you produce to be used out on the grid and bought back from you at the full consumer rate. This means the utility must reimburse at the same rate they charge you to use the electricity. Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania & Delaware have Net Metering agreements with all of the utility companies. It is possible to have a credit for the electricity you produce to carry over from month to month and only pay the utility for the "net consumed" electricity not offset by your PV system (must confirm with your power company to verify as power companies differ from state to state as well as amendments to the current laws).
