So
3,600 kWh/ year = 9.86 kWh/day.Looks
like they’re going by the CEC numbers too.I’ll
bet they’ve got 20 SR100 modules (while they can still get them), CEC-rated
at 89.9 watts x 5.5 hours = 9,889 Wh/day.
Are
you holding this up as a good or bad example Joel?Cuz
they’re going to fall probably about 30% short, just…ahem…like the systems
that Real Goods and everybody else who quotes the CEC numbers is going
to.
I’d
sure rather look like a hero than a bum a year after a customer installs
their Intertie system.Now, to convince
the marketing morons AND the customers that honesty is the best policy…I
got my work cut out for me.

Re: system output honesty [RE-wrenches]
This
is what LADWP and Siemens say: "A 2,000-watt system (2kW) can supply the
average home (1,500-2,000 sq. ft) with 20 to 60 percent of its power. With
the incentive, a 2kW system costs approximately $8,000. A typical 2kW residential
rooftop solar system produces 3,600 kW hours per year."
