JBinCBad,

I don't have enough postings to be able to PM, but thanks for the response.

Congrats on the install! -- I signed with the same installer (JPS) about 10 days after you and am still unclear when the installation will commence.
Did you have to coordinate approvals with your HOA? I understand that can take a couple weeks. I received the engineering design and HOA application paperwork a little over a week ago. Also, we received the permit from the City of San Marcos. So hopefully install is no more than a couple weeks away.

Hey Louie, if you read the earlier parts of this thread, that was my big complaint, it seemed like there were 4 or 5 weeks with no activity and no communication, was pretty frustrating. The reality is I think they book that far in advance to keep feeding the pipeline, and are able to buy panels in bulk due to accumulating more jobs before purchasing. If I had to do it again, I'd probably negotiate the timeline shorter than the standard 3 mos. they give themselves, but that may take away part of your bargaining power for price. . . Still very happy overall. . . .

[J.P.M.]

My HOA took 2 long weeks to approve, while the city took only a week.

FWIW: in CA, by law, HOA's can take up to 45 days to review.

As promised, pics of the completed install. Good thing is, the install was so clean, there is really no exposed wiring, or even conduit to show. Very happy with the final product, and yes, its fun to see your meter spin backwards

PM's sent, thanks guys, I was skeptical at the beginning, but now I'm a happy camper. Once started, it was a quick, efficient and well-done job.

Howdy JBinCBad, would you mind sharing with everyone who your installer is? Just go to www.solarreviews.com and search for the installer go to their page and copy their page url into a post and all is good. We need to work out a way that is easier for people but for now that's the way to do it, cheers.

That is a super clean and premium conduit work. Thank you for sharing.

Great looking install! Looks like 15 panel LG with SE, which is exactly what I want. I am in La Costa - San Diego as well!

Have to admit, I am very interested in seeing quotes and know the installers - not disclosing either really takes away from useful information that I can get here.
If anyone can point to good threads with the info, I would appreciate it!

Hi all!
Also new - looking to install LG 315 with SE 6000 - please PM me the installer as well
Thanks!

I am too new to be able to send a PM. Will you please PM the name of the company you used?

Thanks
