• 5 kW Photovoltaic System using Sharp ND-167U1F Modules and a Sunny Boy Inverter; Grid Tied
• Sunny Boy Control Software running on a PC for continuous monitoring
• Complete set of PV system installation photos
• 160 ft2 of South facing insulated glass for passive solar heating
• 284 kWh annual lighting load achieved by extensive use of CFL’s, LED’s, and timers
• Custom LED lighting in kitchen and on garden landscaping
• Detailed computer spread-sheets and charts that account for all electrical loads, month by month
• Detailed daily data and charts that show how much electricity is generated, and how it was used (used when generated, used time shifted, or sold to RG&E as excess).
• Home built in 2005 has numerous energy star features and appliances


We have a newly constructed energy star rated contemporary home facing true south. Over 150 square feet of south facing glass overlooks a semi-formal flower garden. Our newly added 5kW Photovoltaic system supplies all of our electricity needs, but is discretely sited on the back roof where it is not readily visible. Extensive use of ceramic tile adds heat-absorbing mass, as do the granite counters. Extensive use of LED lighting, as well as compact fluorescent lighting and timers contribute to an annual electricity consumption of under 5000 kWh. If you love details, the photovoltaic system is continuously monitored during operation, and we have a large number of charts that show how the system has performed, how we use electricity, plus much more information.

From I-490, take Exit 4 (259 Union Street) and go south on Union Street. If you are traveling west, this will be a left turn onto Union Street from the ramp (right turn if traveling east). Travel straight through the light crossing Chili Avenue (route 33A). Take the second left onto Union Station Road. Then take your first right onto Reading Road. At the tee intersection, go right onto Rio Grande Drive. You need to take your next left onto the continuation of Rio Grande Drive. Our Home, 62 Rio Grande Drive, is the third house on the right. It is gray two story contemporary with a porch. Note if you are using Google maps, it shows #62 in the wrong place (close but wrong).
