Getting solar at the house

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Too many pages to recheck.

What are peoples experiences with HOA's and these? I know my new house is in a fairly aggressive HOA neighborhood. Lots of rules for visible structures in back yard etc.

Nope no hoa rules can restrict solar panels.

Solar city doesn't have a battery storage solution that I know of. You'd have to contact them to find out.

They have a system manufactured by Tesla, but not in this market.

Does anyone know where I can find my electricity credits on my XCell bill? I know I am rolling back the meter but can not for the life of me see anything on my bill reflecting that.

Give the billing dept a call. Probably the dept who was made aware of the solar install, never notified the dept who credits you for it. Not the first time a billing dept, had no clue.

Maybe Xcel is just trying to get ahead of the curve. I saw a story on the news the other day where they want to reduce the amount they pay for rooftop solar, so they can finance their large scale solar farms and sell us sunlight...

any feedback on the way the systems are operating?

we are considering a solar install, but we need a significant system.

All this rain has been putting a damper on solar production this summer. We've been over 1000kwh per month since April with a high of 1247 kwh in June (9.6KW system). I think it's been producing pretty well despite the plethora of cloudy days. It took us a while to get our meter back in the negative zone (just two weeks ago). Solar City monitors the systems and if there is a communication issue, they typically send someone over within a couple of days to get the issues resolved. It's been just over a year and we're happy with the system.

how does your power company handle the deficit? do they send you a bill when you are short? or just bank the meter until the end of the year?

we are looking at a 62 panel system.

XCel charges a minimum to handle the paperwork for the house. I have been showing the minimum for months now. I produced over 600 from Mar to Jun. 538 last month. If I could remember my log in info for xcel I would check that right now for you but I have to call tomorrow.
