Reason for Choosing Solar:
Because they have two young children, Denis and Suze Buannic are
very cognizant of the effects that their current actions will have
on their children's world as they grow up. Having already invested
in energy efficient appliances, and looking for other ways to
reduce their carbon footprint in an effort to preserve their
children's and future grandchildren's environment, they decided to
research renewable energy. They came across the possibility of
solar for their home online. Solar PV has been supported by
generous state rebates, and because the Buannics were early
adapters to the technology, the state of New Jersey reimbursed up
to 70% of the cost of their installation in the form of a
rebate.
About the Installation:
The Buannics were Trinity Solar's first solar electric
installation. Several crew leaders participated in the installation
as Trinity embarked on its transition from a heating and air
company to a solar company. The BP modules were mounted to the roof
and the inverters installed in the garage. In the last four and a
half years, the Buannics have experienced significant savings, and
they continue to refer other friends to get their own solar savings
system.
"We spent less than $200 over the last 12 months
on electricity for our 3,200 square foot home. Our solar system has
exceeded our expectations and we are thrilled to be reducing our
family's carbon footprint."
Suze Buannic, homeowner
