I thought I had seen others having issues with theirs as well. You would think a bigger company like this would have worked out more of the bugs before release though.

look at how poorly reviewed the nyos reactor is... effectively it dumps the carbon into your tank at some point.

I ordered the system from Wholesale Solar, and paid a company called Solar Permit Services do draw up the plans and detailed electrical line drawings. Wholesale Solar was fantastic to work with, I'd highly recommend them. Solar Permit Services was great at first, and then I probably wore out my welcome by making too many change requests. He flat out isn't responding to my emails anymore.

In the city of Loveland I can offset 100% of my previous years power consumption. So I averaged out my last 12 months of usage and designed a system that will get me as close to that 100% as I could. On paper the system is 14.5 kWh with 32 panels, each with a micro-inverter that converts the power from DC to AC at the panel. I guess that means if part of the array is shaded or covered in snow, the unobstructed panels will still produce and the whole array won't be compromised.

I'm actually kind of excited to get those first couple of power bills to see the real world numbers, and stop dealing in the hypothetical...

And you’re about 4’ tall right?

Those panels are huge! Ideally they should produce 450wh at peak? My system went online last Nov. So, you’re just entering the low point for the year but should still see some good results.

The panels are 6'5" tall and 3'3" wide....I'm 6'3" and at least in that picture I don't look like I'm 3'3" wide. The panels are 365w each at max power output.

Yeah, I feel like I am the glass clean up crew....and I have been slacking. It's so gross! I still haven't touched it since that pic was taken.
