Met with the solar rep yesterday for Blue Raven. Info inside if you care. - sycor Jul 28, 05:26 18
- don't you need to install a new breaker panel and cut off so if power goes out you don't energize the wires the crew is working on? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 28, 10:53
- holy hell solar is expensive there. my 6.6kw + inverter was just under $6,990. panels have a 25 year warranty, and inverter is 10 years. - mafic Jul 28, 06:12 6
  - I paid just over 10 net of rebate for 5.6kW. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 07:33
  - Obviously I need another quote or two. But yeah, expensive. Blue Raven is one of Forbes top 3 solar companies though, so quote is probably reliable. -- nm - sycor Jul 28, 06:44 1
    - They were one of the ones we quoted as well -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 06:45
  - like I'm actually stunned. I could've had my system plus like a 30kw battery for those prices, even converting currency 1:1. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 06:14 2
    - It varies pretty wildly. My 9.35KW DC (8.45 KW AC) system was $32,750 before rebates. My out of pocket was about $12k. -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 06:18 1
      - there are a million solar installers here, I imagine the market's more competitive. wouldn't ever be more than $1,800/kw excluding incentives. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 06:32
- what's your rebate situation in your state? I assume the $42k does not include the federal rebate (30% right now I think). -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 05:45 7
  - Correct it does not. It is 30%. And until Oct. Progress Energy is offering 1:1 buy back and getting the solar now locks us in on that for 15 years. -- nm - sycor Jul 28, 05:52 5
    - 1:1 net metering is great. That's what we have. You're still at roughly a 15 year payback - oblique Jul 28, 06:00 3
      - According this NC has a bad SREC market. -- (link) - sycor Jul 28, 06:09 1
        
        Interesting. They had a few more posts but this site also seems to summarize the current incentive programs for you -- (link) - oblique Jul 28, 06:28
      - They did not mention SREC. I guess I should ask about that? Once I figure out what it is. -- nm - sycor Jul 28, 06:07
    - Although the 15 year thing I need to look in to further because I don't think that's completely accurate. -- nm - sycor Jul 28, 05:56
