Getting solar at the house

[gnihcraes]

My install should happen this wednesday, I'll post up install details then.

In a bad spot, the solar system was to be installed several weeks back and got rescheduled to this wednesday. We've got an appraiser coming by tuesday afternoon for a refinance of the house. Not sure we'll get any credit for the solar system if it's not actually "installed". 24 hours might make a difference in the appraisal. ??

For your sake I hope so! I just met with Solar City this morning. Looks like even with stepping up my usage over the last two months I'm still too low. My system will only cover about 80% of my average usage (when I'm running the AC and such). However, after one year I can have more panels installed if my power usage supports them and then I just have to sign a new lease with Solar City at whatever kw/h rate they are going for at the time.

Welp, here is the gig:

Appraisal:
Solar System Installed - no increase in $$ value.
No Solar System Installed - no decrease in $$ value.

Means nothing on the appraisal side of things. It might help sell the house to a customer, but that's it.

My install starts tomorrow, updates soon.

At least they don't find it as a negative.

Interestingly, they find the "SCHOOL" across the street as a negative. WTF. I guess it's not a "pretty" view.

Well, you have to admit, you haven't been fond of the parking situation.

Yup. It does have a drawback. I always figured a Family with kids would appreciate the school proximity, but maybe not. We hadn't considered it either good or bad when we moved here. O'well. Lakewood PD has helped significantly in the last week with the situation.

Electricians are here, moving right along, doing a clean install. Happy so far!
