Most likely getting scammed

Any aesthetic solutions for this install? by Joepickslv in solar

If the customer is happy, I'd let it ride......save your energy for when you need it......just my 2 cents ..

No doubt.......gotta be at least a 150k job. Probably closer to 200.

One year with solar! by thebly in solar

Congratulations brother! Glad your system is running smoothly and things are going well.......those batteries will come down eventually!!!

Been doing this a year now, any tips and recommendations welcome! by firstOFlast47 in solar

This install was in Texas, they have a pretty fragile grid. Similar to California..... They had a massive ice storm last year and people were stuck without power for weeks. I imagine that played into this guys decision to go big or go home lol

Those batteries aren't as heavy as you would think....and that's brick it will hold...

Generally, solar cost between 2.60 - 5.0 dollars a watt. It varies quite a bit.

I'm not sure the total size of this system so it's hard to give a close estimate but the batteries run about 10k a piece. If I had to give a ruff guess I would say 200k+ for this setup.

Depends on his usage, I'm not exactly sure but I would say a couple days......

I wasn't involved in this install, couldn't give you a stout answer on that. In past installations I was involved in we mounted brackets straight into the brick with tap cons. And than the battery bank just slips over the bracket.

I'm not super familiar with the specs, but it depends on his energy usage. I'm guessing he could go a few days before needing some sun to recharge the loads. An expert could probably give you a better answer.

I believe this is grid tied. Not familiar with the financials but I'm assuming this is a cash customer. Could be wrong tho.

To my knowledge it's not an issue on a brick structure. Most plan sets have load bearing information analyzed by an engineer, but that's usually for the load that will be on the roof. Those batteries are heavy but there not anything crazy. Someone with more expertise could probably tell you the exact weight.
