Been looking all over but coming up with zeros - figured I'd ask ya'll experts for help on a referral.
Is anybody aware of a design consultant which can layout a zero export storage system...that integrates with an existing Grid Tied PV?
(Utility in San Diego wont allow existing system expansion without changing rate structure - Net Metering 1.0 to NEM 2.0/3.0/etc, no question we want to stay on NEM1.0)
Supplementing the existing PV with Zero Export & Storage - everythings is gravy - but all the info I've been able to research doesn't take existing PV arrays into consideration. I'm sure with enough time on this forum, and plenty of questions I'd eventually get there...but kids, life, work - I don't think wife will give me a free pass to knock it out over a couple years.
Install isn't the issue, it's the initial design and component selection/wire sizing etc...just like in my day to day work, I can have a designer layout a chiller plant based around my specs quicker than I could for a consultant fee - shortening a projects timeline is well worth every penny. The few design outfits I have reached out to weren't quite up to the task (one even said 'hmm, contact Tesla, they'll help you out.' oddly enough I did, no surprise they didn't jump at the opportunity to supplement their existing system with a competitors offering) Any referrals are greatly appreciated - already diving into the wealth of knowledge around systems and componets that weren't around even 10 yrs ago - all hail solar!
