Hello All,
I'm located in the greater LA area.
After doing a bit of research, I narrowed my choices down to the following options. Both vendors are highly rated on yelp and have been very responsive to all my questions. Panels will be placed on West facing roof, or may be split 2:1 west:east. West seems to be slightly better value production if I'm on a TOU plan under LADWP.
I currently use about 16,000 kWh per year.
Option 1 (11.1 KW System):
$27,700 initial cost
39 x 285 W Solarworld Panels
10KW Solaredge Inverter
25 year warranty on panels, inverters and labor
$2.50/W
+2000 for Panel Upgrade
Option 2 (11.39 KW System):
$30,900 initial cost
33 x 345 W Silfab Panels
10KW Solaredge Inverter
25 year warranty on panels, inverters and labor
$2.70/W
+2000 for Panel Upgrade
There were also a few vendors pushing Sunpower at 3.75+ per watt.
Any opinions on Solarworld vs Silfab, I know Solarworld recently declared bankruptcy.
Thanks,
Ryan
