Oh, the virtues of sweat equity... With nearly all of these ecorenovations, the return on your own labor pays back in tangible dollars quicker than estimated (if you do it right the first time). Besides saving the prevailing wages charged by skilled tradesmen, another adventure is added to your life story and skill set. If and when something goes awry, be it the system, the economy, the power utility, or whatever, you will be in a better position to deal with the change. Having commissioned the rig, the cause and effect relationship will be known without having to call on "the guy". Later, if you want to expand, the process will be much easier than the first time through.

Plus, you can share pics with all of us. Everyone wins!

Good luck making your decision. Everyone I know (especially those with electric cars) that has commissioned a PV system like you are contemplating had no regrets after the fact, except that they didn't go bigger earlier.
