Hope this is the right place to start my journey. So much to figure out right now.
Glad to have found this forum. I am completely new to this all but diving into learning all I can. Any input will be gladly appreciated.
Current situation:
- North Las Vegas, NV
- 3000 sq/ft home - we own outright
- Current year usage was a total of 32,000 kWh
- Varies low Feb of 2250 kWh to high in July of 3560
- two A/C units - one for each floor
- Power consumption is high as we have a heated 16ft swim spa and I run a wide format print shop for my business at home
- 2 story home
- got to get control of our power bill (I'm sure you all have heard that)
- not afraid of DIY and pretty handy
- not too interested in batteries but you could correct me if wrong on that
My main issue right now is everywhere I turn it is like talking to used car salespeople. Never a straight answer. As mentioned I'm at the beginning of my research. We do have a SunRun consultation next week which I hear will be outrageous in price and ProjectSolar just gave us a first draft. I want to dig more into DIY for ROI reasons. Was pointed to this forum from Facebook.
Would love your input and advice to help draw up a plan. I've attached the Projectsolar image and cost as I guess this is my starting point to learning what I need to draw up to plan for:
ProjectSolar
System Size: 19.600kW
DIY Price (Including Sales Tax): $35,280.00
DIY Price (After Federal Incentives): $24,696.00
