The new Solar PV System


A couple weeks ago our electric meter started running backward. During daylight only, of course.We took the plunge after The Mayor announced a rebate plan that gave those in our zip code a pretty enticing offer. We chose Occidental Power as our installer, using the latest pannels and inverter from SunPower in San Jose.
Ours is a 2.5 kw system consisting of 11 panels. Installation was right at 1 week, and the guys did a super nice job. It will be 15 years before we break even, but we won't ever have another electric bill.
