What You Need to Know
Description:
8.68 kWh using 28 silfab all black 310 watt panels and enphase micro inverters arranged edge to edge on the SE facing roof on the rear of the house. Slight afternoon shading from a neighbors tree seems to reduce overall collection by about 10%
My Motivation:
tax credits, roi, and environmental benefits
Experience with Installer:
Try to find and honest and knowledgeable local company to do the design and install. Be careful of some of the companies that overpromise.
Additional Notes:
I didnt like the hard sales tactics of some of the solar companies as i shopped around. We selected nova solar to do the work and couldnt be more pleased!
