Great Expereince

Since our previous attempt last year ended with the out-of-state business going bankrupt, we were extra cautious this time around, asking for bids from three solar companies. I asked for and received accommodation that the last payment would not be made until the system was fully operational. One of the coldest springs in many years delayed our install. Then Xcel energy, two weeks wait, then a problem with our system (IQ8's are relatively new) added up to a month. Now that our system's been up for 18 days, we can say so far so good. Our 9.5 KW system -- in round numbers -- has produced 780 kw hrs, we consumed 79 kw hrs, and exported 682 kw hrs. Information instantly available on the Enlighten App. Obviously this is the time of year with peak production and few cloudy, rained out days. Annie Hendrix and Patrick Farnham answered questions and kept us in the communication loop throughout the process. Xcel energy had required paperwork that they walked us through. Also showed us through the Enlighten App the day power came from the solar system. The installers, solar panel mechanical, and electrical, were respectful of property and communicative in their respective efforts --we did NOT have to clean up after them. During sales, at the last ditch, we decided to add battery storage, this accounts for approximately 1/3 of the overall price!
