With the price of fuel going up so rapidly, it’s just a matter of hours before our electricity rates take a huge hit. When we built our house several years ago we had anticipated owning an EV, so we installed a 6KW solar panel system. The system has far exceeded our expectation! So it seemed like a smart investment to expand our solar arrays by about 50%. When we built our home which is a modest 2100 feet we really didn’t know how much power we would require for the house and then with the addition of our MME we were obviously a little bit shy on our annual production. With our 8.5-9kw solar panels we will probably still be just a little low on our production. Here in Washington State we do not receive payment for our solar production, we use a net metering system. As we produce more power than we consume we receive power credits. Our net metering accumulation zeros out on April 1. If you don‘t consume all of the power that you produced thru the year you simple give it to the grid so there’s no reason to produce more power then you can consume!
