Jason Jungreis, Vice President of the Golden Gate Electric Vehicle Association, chose Luminalt to install solar on his San Francisco home.
Clean tech attorney Jason Jungreis knows that pairing EVs with PV is a smart choice for the environment and his wallet. When Jason bought his Nissan LEAF at North Bay Nissan in Petaluma, he also purchased a solar electric system for his home from Luminalt.
Jason’s 3kW solar system was designed to produce just under 4,800 kWhs a year, enough electricity to cover the majority of his home energy use and driving. Comprised of 18 Suntech 185 watt panels and a SMA inverter, Luminalt designed Jason’s system to optimize his return on investment.
Jason drives about 1,000 miles per month, close to the national average. He finds he can drive more than 70 miles in his LEAF on a 24 kWh charge. Over the course of a few years, Jason will recoup his entire investment and begin generating free, clean power for his car and home for years to come.
Tiered electricity rates mean that your cost for electricity goes way up as you increase your use of electricity – pairing an electric vehicle with a solar electric system provides a great return on investment, making solar a decision that is both financially savvy and beneficial to the environment.
