Matt Farrell has been living with solar panels in his home for almost five years .

He says he's been doing a lot of research and evaluating of our current system versus what we're planning to get.

He has a 9.49 kilowatt solar panel array that's made up of 26 LG solar panels with end phase microinverters.

Where I live, we get one to one net metering credit off our electric bill.

We get a cheque for $ 126.22 a month for SREC payouts which expires after 10 years .

The newer programs like SMART pay out in a more measured way that helps to avoid double dipping.

Solar panels are a bit like having a metal roof covered with snow, but what happens with the snow and rain? We've saved just shy of $ 7000 of our electric bill.

The only out of pocket expense I had was the installation costs.

I'm participating in a virtual power plant or VPP in my area.
