I have a tentative offer from a group buy discount the city was running - two days left to put up a small refundable deposit and receive a firm offer. Tentative cash price is $2.55/watt for a grid-tie system. But there are so many questions about the financials that I've been suggested to pose to...
- Salespeople, or
- Enthusiasts whose demeanor towards the matter is ... bobblehead-like
... thus I don't know that I'm going to get reliable answers. My concern is that there's going to be two electrical meters
(a new supply meter to supplement the existing consumption meter), some lingering power sale/purchase agreement with a third party for the net metering, or both.
EDIT: Local grid operator installs a second "DG" (Distributed Generation)
infeed meter, which is for sure the gateway to bullsh_t fees and other accounting shenanigans that will wreck the finances.
