Solar Energy

The install just completed today, and we’re waiting for our final county inspection. We went for a whole home backup solution, as the tax incentives are currently good for both panels and batteries.

Enphase REC 405W panels, 21 kWh storage battery system, Enphase microinverters and controllers.

Feels good to be grid-independent (still grid-connected though), and no longer have to worry about those annoying PSPS (public safety power shutoff) events here in California. Since we are on a private well, when grid power goes out, our water goes, so we can’t flush toilets or shower. That alone is worth it! :)

Cheers, all.
