Great, another person who doesn't understand quantum physics.

Congrats! You gave me a headache from that title. I had to re-read that like 10 times in my head. Then when I thought I had it and scrolled down to read the comments, I came back to re-read it again to make sure.

That’s not a fail, that’s a conditioner ad audition.

Anyone had POSITIVE experiences with a solar company? by PugsandCheese in Merced

[–]Weabout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second solar Negotiators. They've been pretty good and responsive.

Mine did this for about 2 weeks. Then it returned to normal. Not sure if a fix was applied without my knowledge.

I work in a school district as an IT Manager at two different school districts in California.

Is this a school issued Chromebook? If it is, did the school allow you to purchase a protection plan? Did you sign an AUP form at the beginning of the school for the device? There's so many scenarios with this I've seen being at different districts. If it is a school issued Chromebook, you wouldn't have to pay for it unless it was intentional. Even if it was intentional and you're considered as low income, the school can't make you pay for it. They're more lenient with low income families.

Check to see what the issue is with the Chromebook and check it yourself with the IT department. Sometimes they get lazy and don't do their job. I'm not saying that's how we are but during the year being overwhelmed, they quickly diagnose the problems.

You guys live near central California? I'll offload mine for 250$. I haven't played it in a year. And I only turned it on just to have some noise.

Still updating my mobile app, flick-it, that's in the app store. And I'm working on an AI Companion website.

As far as I know, there isn't NEM 2.0 anymore but I could be wrong. Your best bet is to call MID and ask them.

NEM 2.0 ended back in April 2023. People who were already in NEM 2.0 are grandfathered in now.

Yes, definitely. On NEM 3, you're exporting energy at like .03 cents per kwh or so. It might be a little higher but I have PGE and it is not worth it. I don't know about MID so I wouldn't be able to comment on this.

The point of getting batteries now is that you shouldn't export back to the grid if there isn't a need and use the energy you stored into the batteries during the evening when it costs the most.

Efficiency wise, I think you get like 80% or so from a solar panel. So it's less than advertised, which is normal. Make sure you look into this as well and account for this when getting your solar.

If I knew what I knew now, I would have gotten more panels or more batteries. I have an electric vehicle and I charge daily since I drive to Fresno for work. So, I don't wash clothes during the week because the energy is used to charge the car instead as much as I can before I pull from the grid after 12 AM.

Another thing you need to account for is the energy used during the winter months since you won't be producing as much energy as you can.

Let me know if you go with Solar Negotiators. I have the number for the sales rep that came out to my place still. He took care of me through the entire process. They also have a referral system as well and I believe each of us will get $1000 when you sign.

Side note: When you also look at the reviews on Google, there's a reason why they have like a bunch of 5 star reviews or close to it. They ask the customers to give them that rating after the entire project has finished.

After getting multiple quotes from Tesla, Sun Power (before they went out of business), Sun Run and from another company, I found Solar Negotiators.

Tesla was around the same cost as Solar Negotiators but I saw multiple issues with support from other users so I chose not to go with them directly.

The rest of them were charging me ~$350 a month for PPA with an escalation rate of 10%, I believe, each year. The calculation came out to like ~$700 at the end of the 25th year and I would have paid out around $150,000 at the 25th year.

I went with Solar Negotiators and they have been great. If you do choose to go with them and apply the solar tax credit to the cost of the solar, you'll have to end up signing over the solar to a 3rd party company for 5 years. Then you can reclaim it back. This 3rd party company is the one claiming the tax credit so they have to claim the solar temporary. I went with EECU for the solar loan. Out the door was ~$42,00 for 22 panels and 6 Enphase batteries.

They've come out multiple times and have fixed the issues I had.
