I'm in CT with Eversource and got the notification that they wouldn't be having a winter season. No notice of upping the credit for the summer season - still shows $225. I'm bummed - all these things would have gone to recoup the cost of all this stuff a little sooner.

I was looking at the Class 1 RECs for New England - SRECTrade | REC Markets | Massachusetts Class I | MA

The Mass market allows neighboring states as well - I'm in CT and trying to get my SRECs back from Tesla, but it hasn't been granted yet. I've asked two project advisors going back to August about it and haven't gotten traction. I believe when I'd looked, it seemed like it'd be two years to...

In talking with my project advisor (third one, but she's been the most helpful and responsive of them all), the actual costs behind the line item is for replacing the skylight, and for doing siding repair where the the roofline meets the siding along a one-story section of the roof. So...

Correct, that line item was not present at all on the price sheet I'd signed. And I was under the impression that the cost was baked in to the tile line items (i.e. some standard rate for those things based on the number of tiles).

I'd signed a price sheet many months ago for our solar roof. On it, there were broken out lines for the solar roof, the powerwalls, and a summed total including the credits for the initial $100 and the solar rebate. In the terms and conditions of that same document, it mentioned that the...

My timeline so far (live in CT with Eversource as electric supplier). 8/6 - Placed order for solar roof 8/12 - Permit request started with town 8/23 - Interconnection request started with Eversource 9/18 - Permitting with town complete 9/30 - Interconnection approved 11/14 - Received a text...

I think what was really throwing me that was Tesla said there'd be no clipping, and while it appears that it's really minimal, there would be some. I just couldn't believe that 5.6kW panels would never really produce more than 3.8KW. Which is still disappointing how rarely it gets near that...

Thank you both for that explanation, and yes, changing the inverter ratio there does correspond with what you say. I guess I'm just surprised by how low the panels max out compared to their rating. I would have hoped they'd be near max for more of the summer, but I'm just not in the right area...

Sorry, I had that backwards - Lat, Lon: 41.73, -72.54 But I also don't understand how yearly production would factor in to the electronics aspect of an inverter's clipping a set of panels at somewhere nearly 5.6kW, when that inverter's limited to 3.8KW. Does the yearly production near 7,055...

I must be misunderstanding something about the DC to AC conversion going, or how much a set of panels can actually produce compared to its given rating. I'm going to have a set of active solar tiles at roughly a 160 degree azimuth (SSE), and I'm not sure about the roof pitch, but I'll call it...

Isn't the only expense there the cost of going from a M4-TL-US to a M6-TL-US? I can't seem to find pricing differences on the actual inverters, but for similar inverters the price jump for similar capacity models is ~$300. The document comes at it from a viewpoint of, for a given fixed...

...ruhroh.

Hm, I thought it was when construction started on the project, so long as the project was placed into service prior to 1/1/24, according to https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-18-59.pdf. Although is this some difference between a "residential energy property credit" and an "investment tax credit"?

Here's the solar glass design we're looking at for our house in CT. There's currently a tree on the west side of the house that goes over the roof, so they initially didn't assign that 4.6 KW section over there until I asked them to. I'm planning on taking the tree down if this all goes...

Actually just got an email back from Eversource saying that I can't sign up directly and must go through Tesla. So, I'm not sure why they provide that option if it's not actually usable.

Did they actually say it was a requirement to go through Tesla to do this? This really seems like an automated process to draw energy as needed, so I'd much rather not hand off 20% of the program benefit to Tesla for not really seeing a benefit of it. I spoke to my project advisor the other...

It was while on the phone with the project advisor that I'd heard the number of 15 years. The only documentation I had so far (the project's still at the permitting stage) was one registering Tesla as my aggregator with the Massachusettes Renewable Portfolio Standard. That's what got me...

Has anyone handled this in Connecticut? From what I'm trying to piece together, it looks like I should be much better off by maintaining control of the RECs myself, and selling them on the Massachusetts market through something like SRECTrade (or only through them). From what it looks like...
