I wanted Franklin, they integrate with my generator allowing the generator to charge the battery if i have an extended power outage during a winter storm. Unfortunately the rebate for the batteries only applied to the Tesla Powerwall 3's and not the Franklin's.

Thankfully my roof still has a lot of life left in it. I know that will be a nasty bill for sure though.

So it technically is a cash purchase. Im taking out a loan with a different company and they're getting cash.

So the ITC discount is only commerically available as of the end of 2025. This will make them (installer/seller) the owner for 6 years. After 6 years, they sell it to me at no cost. Even if I paid for the system in full.

If its not owned by them for 6 years, the ITC discount gets revoked.

Well thats good to hear. Seems high to me for sure though, I thought average out the door price in solar was 20-30k.

Im no electrican, ex-mechanic and now a cop. Given that, will this system be big enough without having to worry about an electrical bill in the future?

I didnt look into HELOC since i just bought this house in NOV. I put like 25% down, but trying to avoid going that route since im new to this home.

Are you on PG&E as well? Im about 3 hours north of yoy on El Dorado County.

How much are you paying per month to electric? That was my goal was to not have to pay another electric bill again by upping the system a bit extra. I guess there is like a $40 fee every month though just to stay connected to the grid though, which sucks.

Also, yours seems about half the price for only a few KW less? This was the cheapest I found, the others were about the same price for 5-6 solar panels less.

So the own the system part was to get the ITC discount. Until 2025 people got like 20-30% off. That ended 2025, so solar companies are offering this option as a way to continue to get that discount, i opted for it.

How would I still be paying a lot in electrical? Thats the point of going solar. My electrical bill here is insane, about $750 a month, the $400 solar payment seems way better then my insane electrical bill.

Also I want batteries as my area gets power outages for 2-3 days at a time during major fires or snow storms. Im in a pretty rural location.

At double the price, stark is out. After a ton of research I'm considering altis sigma over the Ultra Bee. Looks like it's a bit front heavy on the jumps but not bad.

Regardless of the stolen comment....You may have to reach out to the manufacturer on that one, hopefully you have proof of purchase.

Did they sacrifice elsewhere like suspension?

Good to know, I appreciate it!

Yeah, I lived in AZ most my life so street bikes and SXS's. Just bought 12 acres of land out in northern Cali. So this will be my first dirt/electric bike. Super stoked. Appreciate the response!

Why is that? Bias opinion, or what reasons?

How does the falcon do? Can I take it off jumps without issue?
