I believe our roof is 17x50 feet (1/3 of the roof is sky lights and HVAC). The total cost was 20k. Back then there was a 25 percent federal tax credit which I think is now 30%? You also get money from NJ (TRECs) based on kWh’s produced in addition to the electricity you save. As you can see in the chart we build up a lot of credits in the spring that then get used up pretty fast in December. Most of the solar companies can give you a proposal remotely using satellite imagery.

We unfortunately do not have heat pumps. We initially renovated our home in 2016 and we didn’t know of their existence back then.

We installed 14 panels on our brownstone in 2020 (space limited by skylights and HVAC equipment). It covers 80 percent of our electricity for the year. Our heating is electric FYI. We had a very good experience with Sunnymac (regional installer for SunPower). Our only hiccup in the process was PSEG which delayed final approval multiple times.

Agreed to Jiang Nan. The Peking duck very good but their other dishes a bit disappointing.

Kimchi guys slid into the void that Bon Chon created but shifting gears, any chance a Buffalo Wild Wings succeeds in JC? No nonsense sports bar with legit wings. (And I say this as someone who doesn’t like chains.)
