Total is about 22k before credits. Keep in mind 5.2kwh is about 25% oversized already

$4k less 30% for tax credit. so $2.8K for extra 25% production capacity. Not sure what your total cost is at this point--most likely above $16K, so cost/kwh should be averaged down. Trust me, you'll find a way to use up the extra capacity plus you'll love the fact that you really don't need to worry about turning off your lights Additionally leaves you optionality for EV in the future.

contract is 27.5K - net 12.5K

i currently use oil heat and electric for everything else (cooking, dryers, etc). i average about 450kwh a month. (current quoted 5 kwh system produces quite a bit more than this)

if i'm going to increase the system i will go up to 5.85 kwh hours (18 panels) and 2 powerwalls which raises the net price to 17.9K with the hope/goal of disconnecting from the grid completely, if possible. thereby, removing the monthly maintenance $25 fee charged by the electric company
