I submitted my silly setup which is just a 20watt sunjack and battery. Sort of related: I just signed paperwork to install a $35k solar system on my roof on Friday (20k after insentives). I'm so excited, I've wanted solar since I was a 9 year old boy!

Wow 35k, what city do you live in?

  Part of the equation is also the size of the roof.

  I live in Connecticut in a residential area. The system is a 12kw, 35 panels. This will cover about 75% of my annual energy usage. I have a family of 5.

    Hey Niko, since your just starting out with this Solar Project site, I was wondering if you would entertain the idea of switching out Disqus comments for Remarkbox, a service that I'm trying to launch. If we put Remarkbox on sunboxlabs it would really help me. You can reach out here if you are interested http://russell.ballestrini.net/contact http://russell.ballestrini.net/contact ref: https://www.remarkbox.com https://www.remarkbox.com

      Sorry to be cheap, but as much as I hate Disqus it seems dumb to lock myself into a paid plan at Remarkbox when I have no income from the project? I'd rather build it myself, as dumb as that sounds... Looks great though and I definitely would like a more minimal version of Disqus – nice work!

        "lock in" is always a valid concern - the comments are yours so you can always ask me to export your data out. Reach out to me if you are still interested and we can work out a creative arrangement if cost is an issue! : )

How much peak power you got for that amount?
- foxhop 9y ago
  I'm not sure about peak power at this point but it's a 12kw system. Peak power can really only be determined when the system is on site. There are so many factors that come into play.

Congratulations! You’ll love it. We went with solarcity and it was a great decision. I love watching the real-time generation throughout the day.
