Is Linux supposed to be the 1 for 1 swap over?
Then this question was not for you. Why did you even answer?
It’s the new deal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Funny enough it’s the ac systems I’m comfortable with. Thanks again for all the advice.
I’m taking my master exam in 3 weeks lol. How I know so little about photovoltaics is embarrassing. But I can get a diagram and design built easily enough. I’ll call them Monday to discuss what they need.
OK that’s amazing. Thank you for this information. Yes with the rebate I’m paying $15k.
That was my concern, if I do it myself would I still get the rebate. I’ll call PSE on Monday and ask if I will get the rebate and if I can also opt into the 1 to 1 net metering.
OK I want to look into doing it myself. Where would I start with the resources?
My only reason I wanted to tie to grid is to get in on the NEM that my local energy company offers. A 1 to 1 net metering. I live in Seattle and getting that energy back in the winter is worth it for me
What numbers? I ran the numbers to purchase 18 panels with IQ8+ micro inverters, the solar edge inverter, the infrastructure and misc and it came out to just $3-4k under the $15k I’ll be paying. That $3-4k covers will be the cost of install and to get me onto PSE’s last few 1 to 1 net metering programs.
Yeah he should me what it would cost with a lower interest rate. I hate door to door sales men so I made him work. We say down and calculated every panel, micro inverter, framing, inverter, and permits and it came out to around $11k for just material. I’m paying $4k more for install of it all since I’m only paying 15k with the incentive. They’re obviously making more.
I looked everywhere to see if I can get the incentive if I buy and install the panels myself but I couldn’t find any details on that. It would turn a 15k system to a 12k system with my own labor
Yeah? Maybe. I just want to get in before PSE stops the 1 to 1 net metering.
I’m supposed to be getting an Enphase IQ8 micro inverter. I can’t see a kw rating on that though when I look it up. It looks like they go directly with each panel.
Mam that is tempting. I’m an electrician but I never dove into photovoltaics.
Yeah net metering with PSE 1 to 1.
Then they can pay to remove it. Violation of contract. I didn’t agree to equivalent panels. I agreed to what they quoted and what I paid for.
Hmm. Did you take out a loan? I’m doing this with a 25 year loan. It’s a little pricy to do that
Change my kw with kwh. Those are kwh numbers for daily use. Sorry, I’m an electrician. I’ve been load calc’ing my VAV loads for my project, and I’ve been writing kw all day.
I pay approximately $200 for electrical monthly. At least that was my last bill, about $210 for electrical using 11kw or so. They promise me 7.4kw monthly. So whatever that is yearly. I didn’t want a full system. I wanted to start with 1 roof, get the permits and incentives and the net metering started then add to the system later if I wanted.
Awesome! Well thank you. That’s basically all I really needed. I didn’t see any red flags other than the fact that they were sales people. Promoting a company that just came to Washington in January so I understand trying to get their foot in the door.
I made sure to get the quote and BOM so everything lines up after install.
I wonder if Seattle is just more expensive. $3/watt is the average here per online info. That’s just the panel inverter install.
PSE is also doing a 1 to 1 net metering.
Who you planning to start shooting at?
