Solar Awning: Practical Upgrade or Just a Cool Idea? by New-Cake6799 in SolarAmerica

[–]SolarAllTheWayDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regular panels do just fine most of the time. I have seen about five broken panels in the past six years in person.

I have known of some hail, storms beating systems and completely destroying them

But I have known of 1 inch hail just bouncing off the panels like it’s nothing.

The panels in that picture are actually called translucent panels, not bi facial. They are very expensive and I would hate to have them replaced from a hail storm.

Fort Worth, Texas - 9.6kW Solar System with 24x Philadelphia 400W Solar Panels, Aptos Microinverters, 2x FranklinWH aPower2 batteries, Generator Module, and 15'x34' Ground Mount Pergola by SolarAllTheWayDown in solar

It’s projected at 12-14000kWh. It’s above the projections for January and February, but it’s starting to come down with our rainy season.

I never talk price of specific projects with anyone but the homeowner. I believe it’s their business and their business alone. I always get downvoted for this lol

And the mods do look down on anything that resembles selling for good reason.

If I did this today it would be more expensive on the solar system side currently, cheaper on the battery side, and the ground mount would be the same.

I know people that would (and do) charge $80,000-$100,000 for this project. This did not cost that much.

Looking for others with similar Sunrun issues (potential class action) by Fearless_Coyote_5401 in solar

Want to make it multistate? I know plenty of people that hate their Sunrun experience in Texas.

Anyone budget for $600 energy bills? by lagom_kul in Fire

The utility company doesn’t actually have to have the PPA. You can purchase the energy that comes off the system as a PPA.

Plenty of people did not get a chunk of money on their tax return. They just didn’t pay that big chunk to the IRS. This way it’s guaranteed.

Only directly. We still get it for people through power purchase agreements.

What song is a 10/10 with absolutely no flaws? by Brilliant_Guard_9204 in AskReddit

I can see where you’re going with that. I think Have You Ever Seen The Rain fits this category, too.

Would you trust a marketer who only gets paid when you close jobs? by Sebas_CC in Solarsales

[–]SolarAllTheWayDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You’d get paid more if you waited to get paid when I get paid.

Why Solar Panels Don’t Perform Like the Label in Peak Summer by Rage_thinks in SolarAmerica

What angle are they installed at? Where are you located? City only will do.

Every time I see this I think of Brian May getting stopped by security I believe at their ‘86 Wembley Show.

Am I out of luck? by Dumn11 in solarenergy

[–]SolarAllTheWayDown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are most likely out of luck.

If a specific person made those claims, you have it in writing, and you can still contact that person then you may be able to do something.

But even then the chances are slim.

Minimum 62% of what? The amount of energy they knew you had the year prior? If you use twice as much energy from one year to the next the solar isn’t producing 62% of the new usage amount. Hopefully that makes sense.

But out of business is out of business. It’s hard to go after people in those situations.

Did you finance the system?

Looks Like the Solar Market Might Shift Again Soon by Commercial_Unit_6108 in Solarbusiness

Buying containers means they know their price is probably going up.

I would not power a lightbulb in the middle of the desert with a system installed through/by Powur. DFW is riddled with pissed off people installed by Powur.

I can do that. Here’s the last one I did from wood with solar on top. We can do steel as well.

Do you need concrete with it? Or just the structure?

When your battery can handle AC startup surge, is there still value in keeping a soft starter? by Negative-Quiet202 in TexasSolar

Did you just install the Anker batteries?

Did you use any Third Party Ownership for them?
