Katherine and Jeff are raising their two boys in a net zero home, thanks to solar and heat pumps!
Katherine and Jeff had thought about going solar for a while, in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint and save on electricity. After getting in touch with SunCommon, the process turned out to be much easier than they had anticipated. When they heard SunCommon offered heat pumps in addition to solar, they decided to solarize their heat source, too!
Their solar system is 6.54kW, or 20 panels!

Richmond: Ground Solar Powers the Leible’s Home and Heat Pump
Paul and Brenda Leible liked the idea of solar but didn’t have the correct orientation and exposure for a roof top home installation. When they heard SunCommon offered ground solar systems, they got up to speed quickly, and had both a ground solar system and two heat pumps installed.
While their solar production creates credits on their utility bill, they can relax and enjoy their grandchildren. And their heat pumps, which keep the house warm in winter, also offer cooling in the summer. That’s comfort all year long.
By going solar and switching to heat pumps, the Leibles lowered their bills such that they paid off their new heat pumps in about three years! Wow.
The Leible’s system is 11.77 kW (that’s 36 panels)!
