I wish man....But i also don't get a 26% Federal Tax credit on a C8 lol ...as well as a $4500 credit from Connecticut Green Bank. So it's not really 50k, its really like 32k and don't forget that included a brand new roof on a 2500 SQ ft House. So the Solar was really like $23,500 after the credits. Kind of paints a different picture, to me anyway.Shit for 50 grand you could have damn near put a C8 in your garage with the golf simulator.
Thats why you go in with 100 grand so you get both.Shit for 50 grand you could have damn near put a C8 in your garage with the golf simulator.
I think they base that off your location; it is a best guess really.Interesting...it's recommending a 12.24KW system for my house with an estimated production of 29-43KHW per day. My LG Panel system is a 11.55KW system and i'm averaging 63.75KWH per day so far
The purchase price was $49000 but $11,000 of that was doing a new roof. the actual solar loan part was around $170/m with the roof loan on there its $243.what's the monthly solar bill again?
O hell yeah ...my summer electric bill averaged about $390. I'm the kind of guy who turns the AC once it's hot enough to outside to heat the house up over 70. Doesn't matter if it's March or October..the AC is going on.Still cheaper than my monthly electric bill in the summer. Nice work.
My electric bill was similar. Leasing my panels at $60 a month is a fucking huge savings. PG&E keeps increasing prices around here..O hell yeah ...my summer electric bill averaged about $390.

Yay, hydro!While it seems we're taxed to shit here in Washington, our utilities are still very inexpensive. I did the analysis yesterday seeing all this and I don't think it makes a lot of sense still here.
My electric bill here in the summer with A/C running is maybe $90. Winter it is around $130, en with natural gas.
yeah, that's super cheap. I'm pretty stingy with the ac and only turn it on once i can't stand it any more and open windows immediately once it's tolerable again at night/etc. Summer bills are high 200s. i had a $300 bagger once and that was a horrible humid couple weeks.
Winter is much lower in the low 100s with gas for DHW and cooking.
I'm waiting a few years... my roof/house is 13 years old.... i don't think it's an option until that gets replaced. Too much work before and then again a few years later. Looks are also a thing. i won't be putting any panels on the front of the house. Luckily, the side of the house faces south and the west side is the back yard and rood pitche
I do want to look into battery storage as well for off-grid capabilities. I wanted to get a generator here as we lose power a lot it seems in this area for no reason. I got a few quotes and they are just absurd ($15k). plus, it needs to be run and maintained and eats gas like a hog so it's actually a pretty expensive thing to run as well.
hoping the lifepo4 batteries get a little better soon and i can have an array and inverter that can at least run the basics like the well and fridges indefinitely with the panels that are grid tied.
