A 10K system sounds really big to me. If there's anyone in the forum with a larger setup please raise your hand.
-----------------------------
My hand is not up because it is a larger amount. I do want to say what my usage is. AND what I did recently.
First after the reading the link to the Tribune article I looked up who is the council member for District 4, Ashley Kierkiewicz, and sent them a polite request for the Bill to be put back to 30 Kw; and why.
I have always dreamed of going solar. I have looked up my kilowatt usage periodically for years. It is no surprise that over time it has increased. The electric bill even more so. As of recently I now pay for electricity for my two children as well.
We have what I consider to be reasonably large amount of things plugged in. My house is not small but it does look bigger on the outside and thanks to Rob's building materials it is never hot.
6 Kilowatts is my average monthly usage. This means to my surprise I have a comfortable margin if I put in a 10 Kw system. When and if I can ever manage to do it, I would really hope to go for that 10 size. Putting in only what you currently use is shortsighted and degradation over time in my opinion also needs such a buffer.
