@tenderloin The insurance Is from our longtime house insurance. I just added it to the policy. They only insure in case of damages and not due to solar manufacturer defects (like I think solaric offers).
It’s a grid tie inverter.
I wanted to get a good costower ratio while being on the upper end on power:size. I finally decided on Janko 535W panels. Reviews are good but not by much from other solar panels.
My main conclusions are:

My main conclusions are:
- Don’t buy the premium premium solar panels that last 25 years. By the time you have your solar panels Out of warranty already (10-12-15) years, solar panel prices will have dropped significantly and that will provide you a better ROI.
- Battery technology also isn’t up to what I’d say are economical levels just yet so hybrid isnt my direction now, Currently better to use your power grid as your ‘battery’
- Do go for net metering if you have extra capacity. This requires a bit of data gathering and analysis imo.
- Go for mid range inverters that have a warranty of at least 5 years and have good monitoring technology. Mine is a Solis inverter, They’re China made and cheaper than the US Or Germany brands that boast 15-25 year warranty, I don’t need that long of a warranty. I want to be able to be lean enough to adapt to the latest tech.
