A homeowner in Park Slope Roger Dittmann has equipped his house with solar panels and now shares energy with neighbors. The man notes that just wants to help make your neighborhood more environmentally friendly, according to Brooklyn News 12.
75-year-old Roger Dittmann spent about $ 40,000 to install solar panels on the roof of his home in Park Slope. But now it allows to obtain sufficient energy not only for personal needs Roger, but even to export it to others.
«In the summer we produce even more than we use,» says Dittmann.
Marketing Director Brooklyn Microgrid Sasha Santiago notes that one solar panel under the sun for one hour, can make enough energy to operate the washing machine. And if you have 16 of these panels, it is possible without problems to provide electricity to the whole house.
In the basement of Dittmann is a special counter that counts the amount of energy produced by its batteries. A separate camera shows how many electricians consumes the house of the man and how much is left in excess. Then the excess energy is distributed to the homes of people who need it.
«Do we get the energy of Con Ed, but I prefer to support the local manufacturer,» says Daniel Different, the owner of the local bookstore, which is one of the first customers, who began to use solar powered energy Roger Dittmann.
