11.9x kw dc system.

Just know that if you decide to disconnect from the grid, inverter prices go up. Then, you have the extra costs of batteries, charge controllers, and a lot more copper--it's expensive.
Batteries are coming, but I think it's still too early as prices are high! We just did an off-grid system for a customer. I now enough to be dangerous, let me know if you have any specific questions.
So that’s a shade under the 10kw AC limit, correct? I read that 12.6kw DC = 10kw AC.
THIS!!! Batteries are a losing proposition for now. including Tesla's batteries
Paper works shows 10ac. Highest I have seen is 10.21 output.
I had a company come give me a quote... it wouldn't work for me. System size 15.6 kW DC.
The salesman told me to expect a 4% increase in electricity a year... which I've only seen about 1.6% max....but I went ahead and figured his 4%.

Some good info in here. Moved to a bigger house, so I'll be watching the summer bills and decide then if it's even worth it.
Got the land space to do the ground option too, which I probably would want to do just in case a hurricane decides to hit again and the roof gets jacked up in the process.

If I could do it on the ground, I most definitely would go that route. So my house wouldn't look like a damn space ship.
I dont think that really looks bad. And the ones on my parents house you cant even tell they are there unless you are staring at the roof.
Nick I am curious to know what cost per watt they were charging? I got 3 quotes and had a spread of 40% in cost between the three.
Not sure. It doesn't say it anywhere on the proposal.
What was the total cost of the solar?
$51,480 before the tax credit for a 15.6 kW system with 52 panels.
Then after I sent him the Xcel sheet that I posted above, it magically dropped to $47,200.
That’s roughly 3.02 a watt. I paid 2.88 a watt before rebates. So they were in the ballpark. If they were in The 4 buck range I was going to say get another opinion.
I think I'll just keep paying like I always have. Hell, I'd probably build a new house before this system even turned in the positive as far as cost savings.
Yeah you have to be in the house for 10+ years to really make it worth your time. We just built our house and had a 40x50 detached built with it so I plan to retire or die here
