Going Solar in SW Florida - Nov 2019 Update

LCEC Solar Electric Bill for Nov 2019 showing Banked Usage and Charges

Installing a Solar Electric System for your SW Florida Home is easy and it will save you money! We installed our solar electric system for our home in SW Cape Coral at the end of the summer in 2019. We actually turned the system on and started generating solar electricity on Sept 11, 2019. Look at what we are saving. Our electric bill for Oct 2019 & Nov 2019 is $21.69 plus we have produced more electric than we have actually used!

I anticipate this will continue into 2020 as we will not be using our AC much if any. I will keep you updated with our bills and how things progress. If you have questions, feel free to contact me. See an Actual Live View of our System producing electricity at our home.

The home is situated on a 3 lot site which equates to an extra 40 feet of width, compared to the regular lot size in Cape Coral. The driveway will hold several vehicles plus there is a 3 car garage. There is a family room separate from the living room. Besides the eat-in kitchen, there is a dining room. There are bedrooms upstairs and down. The screened lanai offers several seating options. The heated pool is spacious. There is a boat dock and lift already in place, with additional waterside seating. If all of this isn't enough, Cape Harbour, with dining (Fathoms and Rumrunners) and entertainment, is a short walk or bike ride away and grocery shopping at Camelot Isles is only a mile drive.

Home is Where the Heart Is...

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS....💓

Life can take some funny turns - It is easy to get lulled by the everyday "normal" business.  But when a crisis occurs or change bursts on the scene, it causes me to wake up and remember what REALLY matters.  FAMILY 👪 FAITH 🙏 FRIENDS 🙋

When I arise in the morning, the first item on my agenda is to read my Bible, do a daily devo of some sort, eat breakfast and get dressed (not necessarily in that order).  This is mandatory and I can always tell if I have not done that first because the rest of my day is haphazard and lacks energy.  This time is so special to me and has given me the ability to keep "the agenda" in focus.  🌸

My philosophy has always been that the HOME is best when it is a REFUGE.  I think organization, function and pleasing aesthetics all play their part in setting the stage for a PEACEFUL RESPITE.  Life is not easy.  Each day is a challenge.  I am thankful that our home has been a place of rejuvenation for myself, my children, my husband, visiting guests, neighbors and friends.  After all, these are the things that REALLY matter.  💛

Going Solar in SW Florida

Solar Electric in SW FloridaGoing Solar in SW Florida is easy and it will save you money! SW Florida averages 265 days of Sunshine a year which is big reason why people search for property and want to relocate here. Generating electricity for your SW Florida Home or Business with a solar electric system only make sense.

We recently installed a solar electric system (PV) at our SW Cape Coral home. We are currently generating enough power to offset almost 80% of our use to this point with the expectation to generate enough electricity to reach 100% of our annual electricity needs. Imagine - NO ELECTRIC BILL. Plus it helps the environment and if you hurry, there are tax saving incentives.

Actual Live View of our System is below.
