Introducing the Project
A Hatfield homeowner partnered with Insight Energy Systems to upgrade their property with a high-efficiency barn-mounted solar installation and a full 100A→200A electrical service upgrade. With 11,262 kWh guaranteed annual production and a household consumption of 10,500 kWh, the system is engineered to cover the home’s entire yearly usage and lock in long-term cost control.
