Hello Everyone,
I am trying to do a solar grid tie project for my home in Bucks county, PA. This is a residential project. I have some space on my property and am hoping to go for a ground mount (if township approves). I am using this thread to get a lot of advice and avoid pitfalls and also so that the next person who attempts this in my zip code benefits from my experiences going through this process.
Local Utility: PECO.
- I have a 400 AMP service at my home (2 panels). I am looking for an electrician who has done some solar work.If anyone has recommendations please share
- PECO interconnection form: Any experiences which anyone has.
System:
- I am using one of the online suppliers for a complete kit with flexibility to add an extra string. Install larger inverters (say 10KW interters) but install fewer panels (say 7KW) to begin with. The hope is this allows from flexibility to add panels later (need and cost related) but not worry about permitting / interconnection among other things.
- There was local concern of glare from panels (it is a 4 up in a column panel design). Any suggestion on manufacturer or panel model to use?
Thank you for all input.
