Hmmm.... Now planning a fully flat solar system so I never have to cut my grass again..

If you ever see a house all by itself on top of a mountain and solar panels with a big "FU go away" flag on said mountain surrounded by a mote full of sharks with laser beams attached to their head.. it's probably me, for reasons mentioned in this thread.

Imagine this. Signature Solar takes up all these keyboard warriors "advice" on shipping, then price goes up to reflect the extra cost. 1 year later we all find each other in a similar thread titled "Signature Solar prices are too high!" C you guys in a year, maybe.

I just finished my setup about 3 weeks ago. 28 430w Hanwah Q Cell Duo panels going to a Sol-Ark 12k. I'm in Oklahoma and it's already survived 60-70mph winds according to the weather guys. This particular setup is rated for 110mph winds. This setup came from readyracksolar.com and came with...

Let me guess.... Your solar panels arrived damaged then you contacted signature solar to get replacements sent, they refused and just refunded your money for the damaged panels like their policy states they do and printed all over their website?

Renewable energy is great. I like the idea but there are a few problems with this bill. 1. American made renewable manufacturing and infrastructure should have been #1 priority in the bill and 50% tariffs minimum on Chinese made imports. In its current form the bill promotes foreign products...

Didn't read the post but saw the title. I'm just here to hang out with my fellow idiots.

No one knows. We could enter a global recession and inventories would sky rocket making prices drop. We could keep having supply chain issues and trade wars and prices could sky rocket. We could get ww3 started and none of that matters. I say, get the batteries now. Worst case they get...

Your buddy said that? That's all nonsense. You can put the eg4 batteries to any inverter, as long as the voltages match and you will need to program the inverter to the right charge settings. I wouldn't be talking to somebody that's that far off on how things are.

My production has dropped from 75kwh a day to 70kwh a day but my usage has reduced by about 30% since it's no longer 5000 degrees every day. So, even though I'm producing slightly less, I'm consuming much much less (35% less roughly). On average clear days I'm over producing by 20kwh compared to...

Probably but I can still tell a difference on power consumption with the HP isn't working. That's the only reason I even realized the first HP wasn't working because our consumption was waay up and I had to figure out what was sucking up so much power. I may have messed up when planning my...

What could possibly go wrong with selling already dirt cheap panels at a discount, then eating shipping costs afterwards?

Completely disagree. He has a valid point, unlike your post.

When I put together my system I ordered from several different companies including signature solar. One would expect shipping to go smooth as in order placed, invoice with shipping info received, shipping notice with expected delivery and delivery arrived at the right time and place. None of...

The manual says 60amp breaker, so I used a 60 amp breaker.

Old thread here but I guess we're reviving it. OP I went through the same thing you did. You don't HAVE to use galvanized pipe, you can go regular pipe and save nearly half the cost or even check into square tubing instead of pipe. It's a little cheaper. I ended up buying a complete ground...

I haven't used those but I did get this one for my battery connections. It worked great...

Saw this coming a mile away and got my system installed earlier this year and I felt like that was late to the party.

I saw a post about hybrid water heaters in here and I just thought I would make my own thread to warn people about the AO Smith hybrid water heaters. I have 2 of them, one in my 4 car garage and the other in my 6x12ft laundry room. The one in my laundry room randomly started throwing a ECC...

I had the same plan. Luckily, my first shipment showed up on a short truck with a hyrdaulic tail gate and unloading was a breeze. The second shipment (the shipment to replace the broken panels in the first shipment FOR FREE) was a pain in the rear. It showed up on a 53ft box truck with no...

I wish I would have bought more batteries. When I planned and developed my system, I planned on using my batteries for backup only, but instead I'm using them daily to offset grid usage at night. I went with 15kwh of batteries which won't 100% offset my night time usage. I wish I had at least...

Just going to stop you right there.

I was aiming for a 70% reduction on my bill and I think I got that, but now that I'm here I want more powah! Of course lol. I have 12kw of panels with a sol-ark 12k and 15kwh of battery backup. I did not know the 12k sol-ark will only put out 9kw ac max until I already had all the parts here...

Signature solar is the cheapest I have seen on panels and they are in Texas.

Yeah I was a subscriber but not after that video. Honestly, I don't have a problem with either brand. My problem is them flat out lying.

I'm not in city limits. My county specifically told me there is no permit required for solar and they don't factor solar into taxes. So, that's that.

I have a 12kw array and it will produce 80kwh a day currently on perfectly sunny days. I know location and time of year etc will change that but it is producing way over any estimate I've ever got. It's also clipping my inverter during the day for about 2-3 hours after my batteries are charged...

You will love the Sol-ark. I wish the 15k was available when I bought my 12k and their customer service is absolfreakinglutely amazing. Curious though, why would you pay a company to install your solar system when you've already DIY'd your own before?? That's wasted money imo. I would NOT put...

Read... The.. Thread.. Drama is over.

I had them roll back my firmware yesterday and everything is back to normal now. They even called me to setup a good time to do the reversion. Still impressed with their support but I don't think I'll be updating again any time soon lol In the pic you can clearly see the before and after...
