Solar and power wall 3 quote.

I have no bad things to say about the installer, they were super and took care of all paperwork and dealing with inspections and everything. I would have pulled all my hair out if I'd had to deal with all that!

That's very true! I wouldn't want to do any of this work personally. The only sort of gripe I have with my installer is the lack of communication or expectation of the process. After site survey and design approval it was crickets from February to early April. Then it was financing approvals and now I am onto the formal engineering and permits. I was lucky to have a friend who was using the same installer I am that I mentioned above, and without him setting expectations for me I would have been left in the dark I feel like. So far I feel like maybe that's common, especially because during this time in the process there isn't much to talk about while you wait for utilities and municipality approvals.

Once my callers submitted my application was to the utility I could track its progress.

I think the prices of panels are about to go way up.

I have a tracker too, but I've been on "site survey done" for 3 months LOL. I agree with you. I was wondering if installers are swamped right now with people trying to rush in before major changes to prices and/or credits.

We're finally starting to see some nice bell curve output. Now generating about 33 kWh/day and selling rather than buying power.

Yesterday was 92 degrees. My AC ran 12 hours on low. I sent 3 kWh to the grid but didn’t do any car charging. So far this month I’m a net producer but a couple cloudy days and it will go the other way. We had a 300 mile day trip that I charged at home after so that took some sun. 🌞 day today!!

And so far this year I have charged the car 920 kWh with a 5 Mw solar production and used 5.8 Mw

May is going to be a bust for solar production - it has been super cloudy nearly all month, which will continue until about Monday. Along with the February numbers, that were nearly non-existent, I will be down by 300-400 kwh for the year (comparing to the last 2 years thru May). That assumes that I make at least 23.8 kwh per day until the end of the month (the average production so far). Over the last two days, I've only made 22kwh, so it's not looking promising as the weather pattern continues.

It is like I've already lost all of November and December production. The only saving grace so far, and the reason I won't be down 600+ kwh at this point, is that March was a bit over previous years and so was April. And, I did manage to eek out sending about 0.4 kwh to the grid yesterday even though it made only 8.0 kwh total, since I'm running the pellet stove and have not used the mini split this year (except for about 8 hours one day).

We’ve had a pretty wet spring so far. Hopefully the clouds go away in June and you (and everybody else with panels) have a good month of production.
