After living in Central Florida all my life, I've decided to attempt to Net-Zero my power bill with solar installed by a company, by this I mean offset all the expenses of my bill to zero from ($155/mo avg w/ taxes and fees). What I've found strange is that after supplying my power bills, and last 12 months of energy usage, the various solar companies have given me a wide range of suggested builds - anywhere from 8.3 kW to 9.7 kW. In Florida it's either buy or loan, so there is no PPA.
Here are my remaining contenders and what they suggest to Net Zero my bill:
Vendor GuS , 8.960 kW , $23,385 , Solar Edge Inverter with Optimizers and Axitech 280W , est'd 15,124 kWh
Vendor ESA , 9.690 kW , $20,552 , Solar Edge Inverter with Optimizers and Hyundai HiS-S285RG , est'd 14,122 kWh
Vendor Sup , 8.120 kW , $28,444 , Solar Edge Inverter with Optimizers and REC Twinkpeak 2 290W Panels
Vendor SCi , 8.450 kW , $27,462 , String
Vendor Gol , 9.240 kW . $24,474 , Solar Edge Inverter with Optimizers and Hanwa Q 280W Panels , est'd 13,760 kWh
My average monthly power usage is 1186 kWh or 14,232 kWh annually. Do any of these stand out to stay away from? Obviously the two smallest systems that cost the most were probably not going to win. The prices listed are before tax credit.
