Got my plan from Tesla -- 36 panels, 11.34 system size, estimated annual production if 11005.05kWh. They quoted SolarEdge inverters and Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G5/SC 310-320 panels.
Not sure it seems worth it for me. I'm trying to check my math, but what I'm coming up with is...
1 Month = 917kWh generated (average).
System cost is $150 (plus tax? Sales Tax in Connecticut is 6.35%) = $159.53
Eversource's current generation rate is $0.08123 + delivery fees total $0.11062 = $0.19185 / kWh currently.
917kWh * $0.19185 = $175.93 generated value.
That leads me to a savings of $16.40 a month. Or a 92 month payback on the inevitable $1500 removal fee, assuming they never raise the system cost more than any increase in generation cost.
I'm underwhelmed. I'd effectively be doing it purely out of my academic interest in solar.
