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.
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
