MicroFIT Rooftop Solar with Power Backup
I began the MicroFIT application in February and upon receiving the go-ahead in March I reached out to five Solar companies for proposals. Brightworks Solar responded with the most attractive proposal in terms of price, schedule, features & benefits, and guarantee. I am an Engineer and had very specific requirements for the type of hardware used and its particular installation as to minimize EMF radiation, maximize electricity generation, and have backup power when the grid goes down. The owner was very patient and responsive as we worked the details of my custom solution together (their first). The installation team was very professional and friendly too, however, despite the established understanding with the owner, my involvement with the onsite project management was somewhat greater than expected (eg. specific roof work and cable runs, communication with LDC, and inverter software commissioning). Fortunately the speed and quality of the owner’s communication and steps to address my concerns was top notch, and with a slight delay of three weeks the project was successfully deployed. It is setup to perform well and autonomously for years being protected from squirrels and raccoons with a critter guard, earning good income to offset utility bills, and if need be, capable of providing up to 2000W of free power straight from the panels. Overall I highly recommend Brightworks Solar to anyone considering a Solar project. Well done!
