    That is good! With grid-tie, the best bang for the buck is a system that provides less than 100% of your needs (unless you have a sweetheart contract with the local utility and they pay you full retail for the excess).

      I got my liability policy and my system is going online this week. 14,965 watts!
      Insurance agents are blowing this totally out of proportion. What is required is a personal liability policy for $1m with FPL listed as a certificate holder. There is no protection afforded to FPL, it is for the homeowner. My policy was $400.

      If anyone needs this type of policy, the agent I found can write these policies all day. PM me since I am not sure it is allowed for to post contact details here. His agency is in Royal Palm Beach, FL. I had a great experience.

      So far Climatic Solar has been great. I have REC Alpha Premium panels and Enphase IQ7+ microinverters.

        This is so new to me. I am going to see how the hot humid Florida summer goes. I put in additional attic insulation a few weeks ago so it is hard to know exactly how much electricity I will use. I am studying the Tesla Powerwall partly since I own a Tesla car and they allow you to draw battery power from the car during an outage. I am just so happy to be finally going online. The final inspection was today and everything passed. The utility (FPL) will install the meter in the next few days then the system is live!

          It's awesome that you've got your liability policy sorted out. Sounds like you're all set for your system going online this week.Insurance agents can sometimes hype things up, but it's good to hear you found a solid option that didn't break the bank. Your personal liability policy for $1m with FPL listed as a certificate holder is spot on. And hey, thanks for the heads up about the agent in Royal Palm Beach, FL. Sharing contact details might not be allowed here, but it's cool that you had a great experience with them.

            This week...almost 3 years ago!

            FYI...MikaelaCooley is a spammer who likes to post to old threads but then come back a few days later and edit the content to add commercial links that they hope won't be noticed. I banned the account and deleted the hot links.
