For Kevin Crowley, an Alabama homeowner, switching to solar was about gaining control over rising energy costs, the reliability of his power supply, and his family’s future. With growing strain on the electric grid and utility bills climbing steadily, he knew it was time to take action.

Living in rural Alabama, the homeowner saw firsthand how the growing demand for electricity, combined with an aging grid, could put their home at risk of blackouts and soaring costs. They wanted a solution that would not only save money but also bring peace of mind.

The homeowner identified two main challenges:

• Security: An unreliable power grid with no clear plan for future improvements, creating the risk of blackouts and energy insecurity.
• Rising Costs: An expectation that electricity prices would continue to increase, potentially doubling or tripling within the next decade.

Compounding the issue was the difficulty in finding a reputable solar provider that offered long-term service and support in their area.

After extensive research, the homeowner partnered with ReNew Solar Solutions to design and install a ground mount solar system tailored to their specific energy needs. Key aspects of the solution included:

• Customized System Design: ReNew analyzed the homeowner’s past electricity bills to create an optimized solar solution.
• Professional, Turnkey Installation: The ReNew team provided a seamless, mess-free installation that met the highest standards.
• Ongoing Support: With dedicated customer service and maintenance, the homeowner felt confident they could rely on ReNew long after installation.

One year after installation, the homeowner achieved remarkable results:

• Eliminated approximately 75% of their electricity costs. This was made possible because their solar system generates enough energy to cover their household’s needs for about three-quarters of the year. During these periods, they enjoy no electric bill at all.
• Minimal reliance on the power grid, especially in winter months when they used alternative heating methods such as wood burning.
• Security and peace of mind knowing they are better prepared for potential blackouts and future price hikes.

“Three-quarters of the time, I don’t have an electric bill. And the small bill I do get is only about 25% of what I used to pay.”

The homeowner also praised ReNew’s professionalism:

“ReNew was the right company to trust. They showed up, did a perfect job, cleaned up after themselves, and provided the long-term support I was looking for.”
