Was kind of surprised to see a variety of Costco solar panel systems online.
They seem to have a pretty nice 3750watt system with M215 micro inverters.
Comes with mounting hardware and price includes shipping.
15 250watt panels.
Still not sure what they mean by 3750watt maximum power per day.
And shouldn't it be more than 175kWh per month?
And is it really only sufficient for 1/2 the power needs of an average 1200sq ft house??
How does does this $11300 system stack up against some of the other systems discussed on this forum?
What kind of installation/permiting costs/etc are expected for an installation of a 15 panel system approx? I live in Southern California.
If I charge the LEAF on average 3.8kWh for 4 hrs during the night...wouldnt a 3750 watt panel system running all day cover the power used by my LEAF??
So tempting to install something like this, but I am not fond of ruining my lightweight clay roof that was installed on my house not too long ago, as it was quite a bit of $$ to install the roof.
FYI: My bill last month was 985kWh ($176.31)
My super off peak when I charge is at .17cent/kWh
My rates for the rest of the day is around .27cent/kWh
However in the summer my peak rates will be .60cents/kWh
