With the low price of today's solar panels, keep in mind you'll be spending quite a bit more on the rest of what you need to have a legal grid tie that's done right.
|
Thats the truth . They sent me a ton of paperwork just to get a grid tie service. Ive never been good with paperwork. Yeah . Itd be don right.

If you could find a used regenerative VFD (that supports putting power back into the AC input) for cheap, it would be reasonably easy to hack it into a grid tie inverter since that's what the regenerative function is. As a bonus, you can still use it as a VFD for air conditioning and stuff.

I got lucky and got 2 pallets Canadian solar @.70 cents a watt shipped. |
I bought my panels here: Solar Panels for Your Home & Energy Efficient Products - EcoDirect.com
And another for panels,hardware and wiring:http://http://www.solar-electric.com/ Both companies offer service after the sale. |
You could try Civic Solar, but coming from an employee of a solar company, I have to recommend using a certified company, especially if you are looking to do a grid-tied system.
If you haven't done any research on it yet, look up a Power Purchase Agreement to see if it makes more sense for you. |

Is reading and understanding the NEC cumbersome just to design your own PV system? Yes it is. However, I know the PV system on my roof like the back of my hand including where and why every Wiley clip and GEC clamp is on it. I also have a much better understanding of the allowable uses for TC-ER and UF cable types than I did before I designed my own system. It isn't for everyone, but it is possible. |
