La Jolla Solar Power: Thompson Residence
Realizing the economic benefits of solar energy, the Fox Residence worked with Sullivan Solar Power to find a solution to meet their energy requirements. The available rooftop real estate was the ideal location to install 21 solar panels oriented at specific angles to maximize exposure to sunlight. This La Jolla solar power installation has the capacity to generate over 4,000 watts of energy saving the Fox household money each month on utility bills! The system is equipped with a continuous monitoring device that sends energy production data via the internet to be sure the system is performing according to its specifications.
On average, each year a solar energy system this size will:
- Generate 6,930 to 9,240 kilowatt hours of clean renewable solar power.
- Avoid the creation of 11,458 pounds of harmful carbon dioxide released into our air.
- Provide the system owner with $2,033 in Solar Power Savings.
