Residential PV Solar Power in New Brunswick - A Homeowner's Reflection After Four Winters of Living Off-Grid

This presentation will be the very basics of what it means to use energy from the sun to power your home. If you are already well into your research and have a good background, you are welcome to come and ask questions, but this presentation will not be very technical or detailed - it is meant for people who are at the beginning of their journey.

We will talk about:

• The different types of systems that can be set-up (grid-tied, off-grid and a hybrid).
• What kind of expectations are reasonable for each system
• How that works in relation to NB Power and Legislation in New Brunswick
• What kind of budget might be needed
• What would we do differently at this point
• Some ideas on how to get started (lowering energy use, finding consultants/ contractors, siting, etc.)
