The company is signature solar (signaturesolar.us). I wish I had stayed with them for the whole project. I sourced every component from different companies. Hindsight being 20/20, I think it makes sense to go with a company like this as they will help design the right size for you, ship everything in one load with all hardware and such, and are there with technical assistance during installation and down the road. Yes I saved a little money by doing it a piece at a time but working with experts that know the best and latest products out there has its benefits.
The upside to all this is I’m nearing completion on this first setup. I still have a couple misc pieces on order, (mostly from amazon) and hope to have it up and running by the end of next week. Once I’m complete with this system I will get recommendations and pricing from two solar companies like this one and see how they compare in quality and cost to what I made.
I would love to post pictures of this setup but can’t get them to load here. I’m using a new iPad now and ever since I upgraded from my old one I can’t load pictures anymore. If anyone has any IT tips to help out I would like to share what I’m learning about with this. I’m guessing the pictures have too big of a file size to load on this site?
I will say one other thing about solar though, and I’ve said it before. Solar isn’t economical. In the real world it is a lot cheaper to just buy electricity. As far as having energy security though I think it’s worth the cost. I do have two generators, but they make noise and use fuel. One, I don’t want the noise advertising to others that I’m living comfortably during a disaster and two they need fuel. Even though I will need to replace batteries in 5 years I’m ok with that. Wish I had gone with lithium though. Everything in life is a matter of budget vs wants....
