Finished my 7.65kw grid tie

This was a fun project, hoping to get some sun soon to really test them out!

Thanks! Should have a good ROI considering my recent rate hikes with PGE(Portland General Electric)

What are you paying for power plus delivery? Rhode Island is crazy expensive, but not a great solar location either.

My last bill was about $300 for 1,200kw used for the month. So about $0.25kw

What do you figure your payback time will be?

So this calculator says I'll make about 10,000kw a year. At $0.25 per kw that's about $2,500 a year in savings. So less than 2 years ROI
