Quick update. Things have been working great, no regrets! I've been using a inductive power monitor since the end of May to keep tally of the power generated. As of today its produced 880kwh, 3rd tier power charge would retail $129 . On cloudless days I average 9.2-9.4kwh with 9.6 being the max produced in one day. In a week I generate 60-65kwh average. Unfortunately we do use way more power than we generate but his has helped our billing. July we just broke into the 3rd tier of over 1000kw usage but we had guests staying with us 7days. August, quite similar but long month of 100 degree days and no rain. With low 90s, rain and normal temperature forecast we should have now problem keeping our consumption below 1000kwh this cycle.
