Great
A competent contractor type can certainly do the install, but its the plans, permitting and utility agreements that take expertise and frankly none of the DIY people have paid for that service even though I did it for them. I have a team of people who smoothly move the projects through the various bureaucracies, an individual would have one hell of a time doing it on their own. I'm sorry that we cant help you with your project.

It's very difficult getting enphase right now unless you are already a buyer. You may find micro inverters but combiners are a needle in a haystack right now.
Wow, that’s awesome of you. Thanks for the offer. I’m about 500miles from Escondido. I’ll need to look into the drawing part of it. I have a complete set of drawings including survey from my addition I did a few yrs ago. My issue is the engineering (electrical/structural) requirements for the installation. I pre wired 2 circuits in the panel with the wiring to the roof. Last time I did solar PG&E was the biggest hurdle. Are the Panasonic 400 panels all black( no silver) the recommended panel? Which enphase microinverter would you recommend?
I’m trying to remember but what’s the combiner? Is that the wire harness that the inverters plug into?
The 400w Panasonics have a white backsheet. Panasonic Panels typically use the Panasonic Branded Enphase model tied to it. It will be in the Iq8 line. If Andy can help you on material that likely would be your best route. I can give you some direction (rep to contact) otherwise, but couldn't arrange it directly (I do finance not materials for our company).
No that's Q cable.
I don’t remember that in my existing system. I remembered there being 2 cables (1 from each set of panels)that ran into a j box in my attic where I ran 2 10/2 Romex back to 2 2 pole breakers
in a ten year old system you likely wouldn't have had one. They aren't an absolute requirement but will cut your tie in time and headache down a lot.
Unfortunately not at this time
Randy at Havasu solar has a branch down there..I can give you 4-5 other names to call in the valley as well that do top shelf work.
You’re a business. I don’t expect anything for free. I was simply asking questions and I appreciate the fact that you took the time out of your day to answer a few of them. I like to understand how things work. One of my favorite things about this forum is the wealth of knowledge amongst everyone.
only for folks that can trade flights to HavasuDo you do them in Murrieta?
absolutely, even North OC for RDP folks such as yourself. As I recall you are yorba linda or Fullerton. Just send me your contact info and I will get someone in touch.
Need name, address, phone, and email so we can get in touch
Sent you a DM. Thank you in advance!
Your jaw would drop if you knew what some of those D2D solar guys make a year…That's why they do walk up door to door sales.
sounds like a crazy high quote, they either were trying to hit a home run or using financing with a 20+% fee.
As long as they stayed in a Holiday Inn last night.
There is a d2d sales only company hitting Havasu hard right now throwing out stupid numbers. They went as far as sending cease and desist letters to local installers about "talking about them"
