Deerfield has taken another step toward sustainability with the installation of solar panels at 49 Glastonbury Lane. The system is expected to generate 13,706 kWh of electricity annually, significantly reducing the home’s reliance on the grid.
With our resident cottages averaging a monthly electric bill of $184, this solar setup is projected to save approximately $148 per month, offsetting most of the home’s energy costs. While the estimated cost payback period is around 30 years, the immediate monthly savings offers meaningful environmental and financial benefits.
This solar installation also includes a 13.5 kWh battery, capable of powering the home for 6 to 8 hours under standard usage. When paired with solar generation, this battery enhances the home’s resilience, allowing it to remain fully operational during extended power outages.
This investment not only supports Deerfield’s continued pursuit towards environmental sustainability but also strengthens our energy independence, one resident at a time.
