Just a quick update. As I mentioned before, I wound up needing to cancel my original order and place a second order in order to potentially get a big discount. (By the way, if anyone is interested in a solar panel system in Florida send me a PM. I don’t know if I can post details here.)
In any case, I did that last Tuesday and then I had to go through the home assessment and approve the designs and such again, but as of this morning it’s showing that my order is in the “permitting” phase again, so at worst it looks like I lost about a week. But saving money definitely makes it worth the wait. It’s also possible that I didn’t even lose that much time. Someone had contacted me with a question about the permit before I canceled and I let them know that I would be cancelling and reordering and she said that would probably continue to work on getting the permit since I would need it anyway.
So at this point I’m just waiting until the permit is ready.
