Solar newbie here. I am building a solar carport specifically for the new baby. I contacted Solar City to work directly with my architect, and have now been told that they are not comfortable with the project because they do not want to assume any liability for the structure. I guess they are busy enough with installations that they just want to slap panels on existing homes. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good solar company in the northeast that would be willing to participate in the design process? Also it appears from my research that all solar panels are not created equal. I am curious if those that have working PV systems have strong opinions on what panels to use.

Just ordered my plate yesterday. Didn't want to post it until I got it so someone else wouldn't steal it away.
And a note for people that have too much shade for solar (a common problem for those of us in the Pacific NW): look for community solar projects in your area. I bought in to one last year; they put panels on a building downtown instead of on the roof of my house. But it works pretty much identically otherwise. They handle all the paperwork; I just get a yearly check.
And failing that, many power companies offer some sort of "Green Power" program. Usually for a ~1 cent per kWh fee, they will guarantee to build enough renewable energy sources to offset your usage (and there is a non-profit that audits their work to make sure they are really doing it). Of course the exact price and power source differs by area so you will want to ask for details. They often will allow you to only upgrade a certain amount, so you don't have to pay extra for the whole electricity bill.
I figure community solar covers my car, and Green Power covers the house.
