Im not a complete neophyte when it comes to solar as Ive installed a solar setup on my motorhome but I'm
now considering adding solar to my residence. I have a large barn with approximate;y 1200 square feet of south facing roof that I want to add solar to and do net metering with the utility. The barn has a separate connection to the utility. One of the Canadian solar distributors has 30X480 w panels for approx 7000 so I will use that as a benchmake. So it looks like I can add approx 28000 watts of solar.
I won't be doing the install myself but want to understand how it will be done and what equipment is required.
Im sure this will generate excess power beyond what I require so am plannig to get money back from the utility.
For the time being I am only interested in the logistics of the install as I havent yet calculated my current usage nor have I any info on how much power can be generated as it partains to number of sunny days etc.
