The astute owner of the heavily treed family property on Forrest Creek Road near Jacksonville saw the Federal Tax credit opportunities and decided the time was right to install solar to offset his property’s power bills. He wisely procured bids from several local solar installers to explore the options and costs.

Stracker Solar’s Model S1A dual-axis solar tracker proved the lowest cost per kWh and provided even greater value by keeping trees intact and maintaining use of the valuable ground that might have otherwise been lost to proposed ground-mount systems. 

With the help of Generations Credit Union, the customer was able to finance the project at a low interest rate with no payments due until after he’d receive the tax credits.

Real-time and historical energy production is provided for the owner on his phone and computer. At the owner’s bidding the Stracker was painted oak brown that blends beautifully with the surrounding trees and workshop.

“We were interested in solar power generation because of the long-term energy stability and financial benefits it offers.

Our property is pretty forested, and while evaluating various solutions, we learned that we would have to cut down trees to accommodate ground-mount systems, which we were not open to do.

The cost/energy production analyses of fixed solutions were not very impressive either.

Our Stracker, on the other hand, produces more clean energy than originally forecasted - even with an electric vehicle added since installation, our power bills are very minimal all through the year. Highly recommended.”
