Not OP but in NorCal (BayArea) is about $3/what. My 9.4kw system is generating about 55kwh a day right now. Because of the mild weather we've had, the last day we used more net power from the grid (than we produced) was March 18.
- potatoman22 6y ago$3 per what?
- 88840-8855 6y agoIt should be "$3 per whom", obviously.
- ShakataGaNai 6y agoMobile keyboards. Sigh. Even when you type things right, they bite you. At least as of last fall, it was roughly $3/watt for solar installs - before incentives. Right now TSLA advertises about $2.2/watt, which is by far cheaper than anyone else.
- perilunar 6y agoIs that a single family dwelling? If so, at 9.4 kW / 55 kWh per day, I would bloody hope you are exporting to the grid. That is an extreme amount of energy for a single family.
- ShakataGaNai 6y agoYes. Single Family Home. Last summer NorCal had some nasty heatwaves come through, with lots of "red flag" warnings. High winds, high heats. We had multiple days of 110F+. On those days we used more than 55kwh/day. That being said, the game with solar is that of averages. Right now we're making a lot and exporting a lot. When the summer heats up, we'll be making even more power, but not exporting as much. In winter time we generally need more from the grid than we make. Hopefully at the end of the year, we'll be near zero net.
