- Hey boys, Maybe off-topic, but I think this group is gear-headed enough to be interested. On March 9th we installed a 6,000 watt photovoltaic system on our house in Southern California. Today, we hav

- Having just had to remove a leaking solar water system on the roof of a house... I'd only charge you 50k for having it up there... and me having to take it down.... Now if you could do it out back so

- I agree entirely. I had planned on putting up a 600 sq.ft. patio cover and install the panels on it so that it would not be visible from the front of the property. After all the city codes and requi

- My 2U server is only about this tall, the 4U UPS is a bit taller, so I'm guessing that your 6000 U inverter is a REALLY BIG box! Seriously, this list ( shop-talk ) is one I will likely be converting

- Our electricity rates for Edison in SoCal are some of the highest in the country. That makes solar a lot more attractive. Plus, I think California offers some incentives. For the next house, I'm defi

- where I live, the city owns the electric utility and uses it to subsidize a low tax rate (yes, if you're a contract killer, I can think of a few municipal office holders I'd pay to take a few rounds.
