Solar Sweeps into Danielsville

To Sebastian Di Giovanna of Lehigh Township, Northampton County, Pa., saving money on his electric bill through the green opportunity of solar has helped his wallet and the earth, too.

Before going solar, Di Giovanna’s electric bill in the summer months hovered around $250, sometimes more. During winter months, he paid close to $400 a month. A bill of $158 stood as the lowest he’d seen in the past.

Di Giovanna’s recently installed 12.48 KW solar project on his house roof consists of 48 solar modules stretching between his back and garage rooftops.


When asked about his electric bills after moving forward with solar, he mentioned that his payments for the past few months have already shown a significant decrease. 

“My electric bill has been $0 for two months now,” Di Giovanna said. “It’s been great—really amazing.”

“I have thought about it a lot, and it’s definitely worth it,” he reflected about now knowing he is harnessing the sun’s strongest rays right on top of his home. 

Di Giovanna is grateful to be producing his own energy for the next 20 years with a lease through GP.Energy of Berwyn, Chester County, Pa. instead of paying high costs to his utility company as he did in the past. “To be honest, I don’t think I could go without solar. It has been absolutely wonderful.”

Given his own experience with choosing to put solar on his home, Di Giovanna said he wishes all people had the opportunity to do the same.

“The electric company’s charges kept getting worse and worse, and the costs were increasing; it was awful. But solar really helps to save a lot of money. I would definitely recommend it to others.”

In fact, Di Giovanna has enthusiastically approached friends, family, and neighbors in an attempt to get them to go solar, too, using his changed bills to help them see the benefits. 

“I am going to keep showing others my electric bills to prove to them that it really is worth it,” Di Giovanna concluded about this sun-swept persuasion.
