It was a pretty plug and play system he bought. You log into a website to see your output.
Only issue was the city made him hire a licensed electrician to hook it up at the meter.
He lives in Kansas.
Sounds like you'll want at least a good harness strapped to something just in case. ;)

Spoke to Namaste today. One thing that surprised me... apparently the cement tile roof we have is a big issue, to the tune of approx $4-5k of additional subcontracted work. They pull out the tiles, penetrate the roof and re-double-flash the mounting pegs, and then reinstall the tiles. The sales rep said they would be glad to work with any other roofer if I wanted to handle it that way, but thought it was a good number to use as ballpark. He was surprised that Solar City had even given us a quote, as he thought they didn't do work on cement tile roofs.
The initial numbers were high as they were SunPower panels, etc. but I did feel like it had a lot less weird sales/manipulation going on with the numbers compared to some other quotes we've run in the past. They seem like a solid, honest shop from the brief visit I had.
