Rooftop PV

“The thing we are pretty proud of is that we picked Alteris Renewables for our system. We haven't had any issues of any kind. All things considered, this first year has been very rewarding.”

Ron Beck, Homeowner

The Becks elected to have a 7.56 kW system installed at their home in Waterford, Connecticut in 2008 to help them reduce their dependence on the utility grid. By monitoring and reducing their energy use, the Becks have been exporting more power to the grid than they have been consuming, thereby taking advantage of the net metering system in Connecticut.
