Committing to Renewable Energy
INC President John Cleveland successfully converted to a 100% renewable energy heating and electricity system on his home in Tamworth, New Hampshire. This was accomplished through the installation of:
- Five Mitsubishi air-source heat pumps
- A heat-pump water heater
- A 12 KW ground-mounted solar array
The system payback time is approximately 9 years, after which the Cleveland household will have no energy costs other than the monthly minimum utility charge (currently $13). The system is sized slightly larger than currently needed to be able to accommodate an electric vehicle charger when EVs with the appropriate range (300 miles) are available in the market.
