The Willet residence installation was based on inspiration. With the desire to mitigate global warming and avoid increased grid transmission, a 2.72 kW photovoltaic array was chosen. Before installing the solar electric array, conservation measures were taken to enhance the overall performance of the system. The home saw a facelift with an energy audit, Energy Star refrigerator, compact fluorescent lightbulbs, and fixed insulation. Best Power, LLC, then installed a 2.72 kW solar array that fulfills 80–100% of the household's energy needs each day.
