For sure. Never gotta worry about the meter readers no more, either.

not necessary. unless i only ran myself and not attached. but if i just ran myself i wouldnt get the incentives so i believe the meter reader still has to come to find out what i may owe them or what they may owe me.

i think more ppl should do it so we can all just use natural energy and should cause less pollution. besides that, who likes paying their energy bill. them ppl are crooks. i think mine was at .11 per. stupid assholes.

What are the wattage of your panels? Average house consumes around 10,000 kWH a year give or take. Not sure you would get 10,000kW per year for free.

from my research that went up to 15000. but mine produces 6,825kWh and 15,950kWh per year
edit: i didnt really mean free but with incentives i wont pay anything. i get 30% fed tax credit of right under 7k.

Never have anything intelligible to contribute, do you?

And then you will need to replace it. What's the usable lifespan of that stuff?

$0.11 is not that bad. I get the same rate now, down from $0.14 Some here pay as much as $0.22

And a voyeur too, very telling there Buck.
If it's the same as I got (and I suspect it is), 30 years according to the manufacturer.

Do they have any systems that have been up and running for 30 years? Do they warranty them for 30 years?

That's a decent output. How many panels in your array?
Cool, my next question was going to be how much the rebate was - 7Ks pretty good.
I'm looking at getting an array in the next year mainly for the grow, but i think onsite batteries still have a long way to go which could be a set back.
You mean 10,000 Watt hours or 10KWH I think. the way you have it written is that you will be making 10 MILLION watt hours of power, which is way more than a $20,000 investment.
I have had a PV array for over 12 years now. They are great, the batteries are the only downfall.

sorry it took so long to respond to all these i needed to go check on my businesses and i only have a moment.
usable life span is 30 if i remember correctly with a warranty for the life span.
i believe there is 60 panels
@No drama, your right. i didnt mean for it to come out as 10mil of watt hours.haha my bad. understand i just jumped on doing this so im trying to answer to the best of my ability.
some of these comments are making me wonder if my investment is going to crash.
what do you mean by the downfall are the batteries? does it end up using more than it should running at night? idk what you mean
ok g2g. ill check back later
