Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Ive been a roof inspector for the past 7+ years (just actually hit my 10k inspection milestone last month). I dont know shit about solar really, or the costs associated with it. But i know roofs.

PM me if you want some opinions lol

 

Thanks!

 

No idea what he did. Our solar cost 15k for 4.5kwh. That's about 80% of our power (est).

 

I feel like 8 kw is about right. Our summer cost are pushing mid $300s. Old house and two hvacs

 

Damn scam artists.

 

Yeah?

 

Fuck em all. Jk. I dont know about solar

 

But that seem shady. Quote on paper??

 

I will say, don't use Vivint. I've seen enough scam shit they've put out that it's "no cost to you" and stuff. Sunrun did mine. I imagine there are some local guys. Check out tesla also, see if it's worth your time.

 

Cool. Thanks

 

RUBISH!!!
Treat it as such..

 

What is your avg usage kWh a month?

Here is my stats from my solar and all the research i did.

3/2 1300sqft home built in 1972. Recently replaced all windows and added double installation in the attic.

Prior to solar my PGE payments ranged from $80-360 depending on the month.

12 month avg 518kwh
12 month total usage 6,220 kwh

My highest month was 972kwh followed by a 945kwh month (July/August)

16 300w panels, 5kwh system, 8500 kwh production minimum guarantee.

$17,000 cost for material/install and I had mine installed while the 30% credit was in place.

Payment is $141/mo before the credit, i put the credit on the solar loan and its now $91/mo for 15 years at 2%

I have had it over one year, I received a $250 true up credit because I over produced.

I helped my parents get their solar from the same company i used and would highly recommend to anyone. They are also in line to receive a true up credit this year and their panels have a higher wattage rating because technology is amazing and fast.

 

also to finish off, we keep the house at 68 in the winter and 72 in the summer all day long.

Sometimes when you get home from a week of work 200 miles away.
