@cbednarczyk I just got my first payment notice for solar as well and was planning to make extra payments. Can you please clarify if you were able to make an extra principal only payment after you called them? I was planning to pay extra each month and then a big payment when I get my tax credit...

Thanks. I think I’ll just label it as spare. Wouldn’t want inspection to fail because of this.

No, there’s no labeling on the panel for that breaker. Wondering if it’s even needed since there’s a separate main switch off.

My inspection is scheduled for tomorrow but they had already sent me links to sign PTO application. So hoping it will be a quick turnaround. I’m in Florida and provider is Duke Energy. Good luck to you.

Tomorrow is finally the day of my city inspection. 3 weeks after install since Tesla made some changes and had to update the plans and resubmit them for approval. I just looked at the main panel and realized that the 40 amp breaker they added (bottom left) isn’t connected to anything. Is that...

Based on this article battery storage might qualify for the 30% tax credit if the batteries are charged via renewable energies. https://aurorasolar.com/blog/federal-tax-incentive-for-battery-storage/ I didn't verify anything in the article. So take it for what it is.

Found some additional resources that explain why having opposite facing panels (east/west) wired in parallel on the same string might not be that big of an issue under the following conditions: 1. The two sets of panels must be identical in number. 2. They must be on a gently sloping roof. 3...

Once again thank you for taking the time and pointing me to this post. Sounds like the the performance of 2 strings of panels wired parallel is mainly impacted by shading but not as much by azimuth and resulting level of illumination. Given that it's probably not worth requesting an update to...

Thanks. Shading is not really the issue. I was more thinking that in the morning and evening hours the string isn't really optimized since only half of the panels have direct exposure. It's a 4/12 pitch roof and I'm in Florida.

🤦‍♂️ Wish I had seen the wiring before the install.

👍

Thank you. Is that something I should push them on to come back out and correct? Running another wire through the conduit doesn’t seem like that big of an ask. I’m baffled that they’re trying to save a few bucks on wiring instead of going for optimal performance.

Thank you. Exactly my thought. Is that so something I should push them on to come back out and correct? Running another wire through the conduit doesn’t seem like too much to ask. I thought they’d go for optional performance and not trying to save a few bucks on wiring.

Hi there. I had my install today and when I asked the project lead on site about the way my system is configured I didn’t get a straight answer. Here’s my question. Can someone help me understand this wiring diagram? I have two arrays of panels. 9.6 kW system with 15 panels facing east and 9...
