Roostre,

I believe you need to have the system installed and OPERATING by Dec 31 of this year to get the 2016 tax credit.

There is always GTA (good until audited), but I like to get things done "cleanly" for the IRS. No sense waving any red flags in front of bulls . . . . .

You have a lot to do - but we can help you. First off, we need your month by month kWhr consumption for past year and the associated costs for kWhrs in the varying seasons and for differing consumption levels. This allows us to figure out how many kW system. Then we figure number of panels. Then we look at roof to see how panels can go up and where. That determines amount of racking and wiring.

Not trying to be scary, but old man winter is puffing up . . . . .
