Hello from Phoenix

[J.P.M.]

System cost before tax/other rebates, etc. ? Approx 36K
What's your annual kWh usage ? 23,456 kWh/year
What do models such as PVWatts or others say about long term expected system output ? I don't know much about this but I'll look into it!
Zip ? 85032
Array orientation ? Large array (29 panels) is south-east, smaller array (9 panels) is south-west
Shading ? Tree in the front of the house, but it's not shading the panels after 8:30AM (and I assume earlier in the summer time), will probably at least get it trimmed a bit.
Any comments on vendor or quality of construction/materials ? Everything looks super nice, I had no issues with the install (other than how long it takes to get everything approved, even without an HOA).

Thank you.

I got my panels installed a few weeks ago and turned on yesterday. Looking forward to seeing how well they perform!

Hey, let's get some details! Who was your installer, what's your system size and brand of components, what's your expected productions and POCO offset??? C'mon, don't keep us in the 'dark'

It becomes pretty boring after about 6 months of watching all the stats but I do like the sub-$20 electric bills. Fortunately for us, we're on the old grandfathered SRP Basic rate plan so we don't have to juggle all those TOU schedules for 16 more years.
