Can I ask how much this lg panel and inverter system installed ran you? I’ve been debating solar but I don’t see a cost saving unless I stay in my home for 20 years. By then I’ll probably have to replace everything....
My system has an ROI of around 7 years. It brought down my bill from ~200 to 270$ to basically 10$. Pge will charge 10$ a month for power distribution even if you generation is equal or greater than your consumption.
My system is 29 panel, 9.3kw (stc/dc) which generate around 14.2 kwh. The inverter and optimizer(if you buy a system make sure it have an optimizer) are solar edge.
The system is around 10% more than my consumption(monthly or yearly avrage). Installation was done in one day, solar system turned on withen a week.
I went with LG cause they have bit better efficiency compared to other panels(efficiency will determine how much power you generate during peak sunlight) and their reliability and warranty (25 years).
System including electric panel upgrade, permit and installation costed around $29k+1k for some extra stuff I wanted like detailed online monitoring.
After tax credit it was around $20k.
I went with clean solar cause contrary to many other vendors, they do everything themself including the installation and maintenance. They are the one and only contact I need to deal with from day one through the 25 years of warranty. Thwy basically a ine stop shop.
Many other sources will buy the panel from somehwere, then contract someone to install then down the line if you have a queation they send you either to the contractor if the issue is none panel related, or ask you to contact the panel manufacturer if the issue is panels which is pain. Clean solar own everything end to end.
If you thinking of installing a system do before the tax credit reduce or end next year. 30% tax credit is not bad at all...
Hope that help.
