Rooftop PV

“This installation demonstrates NYSERDA's commitment to solar energy with incentives that reduced the homeowner's installed cost by approximately 60%. It also shows how SunPower modules blend seamlessly into an existing structure to create an attractive result.”

The Juenger’s wanted to take advantage of the south facing roof on their garage to transform sunlight into silent, pollutant-free solar energy. Alteris™ Renewables designed and installed a 4.3 kW system for them in December of 2006. Not only are the Juengers reducing their CO2 emissions by 107,900 lbs over the life of their system, they are also reducing their electric bill, as their system provides nearly 73% of their electricity needs.
