Everything is on the table, Tesla, Sunrun, Costco, battery backup, DIY, plx devices legion solar.
REQUIREMENTS
* non roof install because I won’t be able to wash the panels on my second story roof.
* we have a south facing covered deck which is the prime candidate. It is 20 feet wide by 15 feet deep.
* there is a power outlet which made me think the legion kits might be the simplest install and it happens to be DIY.
* I want at least a 4KW system but can start with a “starter” setup of 1.8. Legion has 150 watt panels and 12 of them can supply 15 amps max to the outlet. Then I can look into future additions later.
* if I can keep things simple and just plug into my house wiring via either a power outlet such as legion or via a breaker box circuit. I don’t really want to ask Pge for permission or get into net metering.
* I’ve been using an average 6.2-ish MW of power yearly. That translates to something like a 2KW setup. And since the sun don’t shine here in NorCal the same number of hours year round, double that and I get my 4KW need.
* I dont really want batteries for night power. Until the things become safe enough that they won’t blow up.
* I do want to use my PV power during the day during an outage.
Can someone point me in the right direction on what equipment I need.
