How many panels do you have? I'm wondering how prices compare to VT
I'm saving a tiny bit of money, and having to deal with dead baby birds all over my patio. It may (who knows) also make it harder to sell my house, could make it much harder.

I'm no engineer, nor am I an entrepeneur.

Not sure how many panels, it covers both sides of my roof, which is very large system by CT standards. But we use a ton of electricity (have a pool with a pump and an electric heater). Two summers ago, before I got the panels, my electric bill for the month of August was $550. That is not a typo. My wife and kids are home running the central A/C full bore, and the pool pump and heater really suck up the juice.
