Perfect, with no loop holes

We are a bit late to the solar game but so glad that we waited. PG&E was gouging us; the temptation to get some panels and start selling back energy (at a fraction of the price that they force us to pay per kw) was strong. Still, my husband kept turning solar salesmen away. Finally, one of them said the magic words: use your own power. Future Energy Savers is the only company partnered with Generac, the people that make it possible for Americans to go off the grid if they want to. Not only does our system power our home, it also has a "smart" component that knows when to store or sell what we don't use. A representative called us to schedule installation within three days of the agreement. They had availability the same week --sooner than we had, actually. The work was well done and passed inspection easily. They even told us which appliances were inefficient which streamlined our usage significantly. You can leave it to increase your property value when you sell, or take the pertinent parts with you and your house will still be listed as "solar ready". Of course, you don't have to buy a battery set up if you don't want to and it will all still work on the normal principles of selling back solar energy. What makes Future Energy Savers stand out is the OPTION to use your own power or even buy more batteries later since it's totally modular. During an extreme heat wave in the Bay Area some of our house's older wiring caused the dining room light not to work. When Future came out to look at it, they diagnosed and fixed it, free of charge, within 30 minutes. I've been able to speak with someone if I had a random question any time I called. My favorite things so far have been bragging rights for my low bills (or credits!) and using the app, which lets me see what's going on in real time so I can strategize about when to do laundry and what tricks will maximize our efficiency day to day. In '23 we tried hard not to use the air conditioning (bill pictured below). The same month this year that wasn't really a concern (pictured below). So the difference in cost could have been even more dramatic.
