Hello, I have been researching residential solar panels for a weeks now and stumbled across this forum. We have met with 3 different companies and obtained 2 quotes. All 3 companies have stated we need a system around 6.2kWh to 6.6kwh to zero our monthly electric, however when I put my usage in a solar calculator it is telling me roughly around a 11kWh system. Obviously that's quite a difference, even one of the invoices from the company on a 6.6kWh system only estimated roughly 50 percent of electric usage per year. Here is my setup:
central florida
3100 sq ft. (New build, been in 6 months)
Oct 2016 roughly used 1530kWh and march 2017 was 897kWh.
No shading/trees chimney issues
roof faces pretty much dead south
first quote:
7.08kwh
24 canadian 295s
solar edge se7600 w/ 24 se300 optimizer
permitting installing and whole 9 yards for
$26020
Second quote:
6.55kWh
23 solarworld 285s

Permitting installing and whole 9 yards for
$15299
thoughts?
Thank you for your time and response.
