Added another 4kw after installing mini split heat pumps, covers most of our consumption. And up on my shop roof is not taking up any valuable space.

Unfortunately some of the solar companies are more interested in selling loans for over priced systems now.

We have 1 to 1 net metering so I get credit for excess kwh generated for night and low generation times.

Going to be interesting to see system prices with tariffs and the general unfriendly attitude of the trump administration to renewable energy.
