Allright now that I have my mo-home solar up and running now it time for bigger and better grid tie system for Home

I am going to get 10 300watts panels they are more affordable nowa days at 75 cents per watt

So that will be about $ 2,250.00 for mono solar panels

Than will need 10 Enphase M250 240V Micro Inverter at $150.00 each = $1,500.00

Than mounting rails, hardware and wire That will be Aprox. $1,000.00

So my Total cost for my 3000watt Grid tie system will be Aprox 4,750.00 price shall not exceed $5,000,00

Than I minis my 30% tax rebate my total cost will be $3500.00

I am really thinking hard about going into this type of business

If I was just to write the check for this system to be installed complete. I believe a system of this type that I have designed

Would cost up-word to $20,000.00

Seems to me there is some big money to be made going green

We bought our new trailer in November and it came with a 160 watt solar system for charging the batteries. Works great so far.

We also have a 6,000 kW solar system up on our roof for the house. No more $600 electric bills in the summer.

What did you pay for your System Bill?

Did you install it or have a company install it?

I have not thrown the Ball Yet, Cause my Electric is about $90.00 a Month

I leased the system. My average bill was $250 per month. I pay $153 a month and they maintain and repair when it goes down.

If your bill is only $90 a month I would say it's not worth it for you unless you buy outright and do it yourself.

I went back and forth doing it myself or having a company do it. I decided to keep my money and just lease. I'm saving a $100 a month plus I can use my a/c all day long if I want.

My system was turned on January 30th this year. As of yesterday I still have 1,400 kW in my reserve bank. I purposely had the system sized large for us because of future projects needing more power. Pge will owe us money next Jan.

We had a 7.35 kW system put on our house 2 years ago. In the last year, we saved almost $3000 over the previous year without solar.

The deals they have now on solar makes it a no brainer. We looked into it about 4 years ago but it didn't make sense then. Way different now.

Barry, who did your system? We used Hooked On Solar out of Auburn. I highly recommend them. Very professional.

Yep if we lived in the hot as hell Valley or redding for that matter my electric bill would be outa this world

Than I would be like you guys and get Solar for our Home in Concord

Only use AC about 20-30 days a year here

Have not needed to use it this month, but this week-end going to be hot as Hell here for 2 Days

The Solar has gotten so much more affordable the last 4 years or so

Kinda Like theme there Flat screen TVs They are 3 times cheaper now like Solar is
