Sure! Clean Solar installed my system - local SF Bay area contractor.
Thanks, but I'm in So Cal.Sure! Clean Solar installed my system - local SF Bay area contractor.
I confess to posting wrong information. When my system was installed 7-1/2 years ago my installer told me that Enphase had recently cut off the panel data in reaction to the installers complaining about all the calls from homeowners seeing one panel was different from another panel. That's when I decided that the Envoy and web site were close to useless and quit using them. After having the Envoy on line today I do see the production info on a per-panel basis. I'm guessing that somewhere along the line the homeowners whined louder than the installers. The 15 panels were all in the range of 1.01 to 1.03 kWh today, good enough for me! I've always had a way to know if the system is working right by comparing the monthly totals from the kWh meter for the Enphase array with the monthly totals from my separate battery-backed system.Enphase intentionally restricts the home owner from looking at individual panel data
I wonder if the resale value of your house will increase due to the solar panels? That is an additional value that is not part of the payout calculations.I calculated the payback as 15 years using my own numbers, but thats with no electric price increase which I'm sure will happen. I'm not too concerned about the payoff, I just wanted solar to be honest
Guess I know why the phrase Fire Sale was coined!No home inspections that demand fixes, I had a regular home inspection and went in knowing there was issues
I'm not too fussed, I want the power done the way I want it anyway
Tax credit is just another scam. The price for solar will decrease and quality will improve down the road.Not too sure why they would be out dated, the system will generate more power than I need, so unless I significantly increase my usage, the system will serve its purpose for 30 years, or more
Nothing to say you can't slowly swap out panels too. Also the 26% federal tax credit is running out soon, and there is no extension of that in sight
If I wait 10 years, I'm having to pay increasing electric bills each month, and I'd miss out on the 26% tax credit
