Scope Of Work
Tiffany Kuehl, Office Manager at Napa Electric in Napa, California, knows the importance of energy efficiency. With electric bills averaging $900 a month, the majority of her home’s energy usage was in the top rate tiers. Tiffany and her husband John decided to go solar to save money and reduce their carbon footprint. To offset their electric bills they had SolarCraft install a 16.2 kW solar electric system. A ground mount system was the best solution, utilizing the land available on their large property. The Kuehls received their first electric bill after going solar and it was only $117, an 87% savings! The Kuehls solar electric system is virtually maintenance-free and will provide free energy from the sun for decades to come.
