SOLAR CASE STUDY
OVERVIEW
A local master gardener, Don became interested in solar power after seeing a friend’s system.
He wanted to use the power of the sun to produce 100% of his home’s power consumption.
SPECIFICATIONS
| Location: Jacksonville, IL | |
| System Power: 9.36 KW |
CHALLENGE
Design an appropriately sized solar system that will produce as much power as the household consumes.
SOLUTION
After reviewing the household power habits and consumption, IM Sustainable designed and installed a system that offsets 100% of the customer’s power consumption.
OUTCOME
A full month after activating Don’s solar system, he received his first power bill showing only fixed charges from the utility provider. The goal has been achieved and Don has been happily sending a copy of his monthly power bills to family and friends to show how his solar system produces all the electricity that his household consumes.
