[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3647356, member: 7157"] My neighbor had a very similar setup installed in his backyard about nine months ago. IIRC, it was an outfit based near Lawton that did the install, but he wasn’t happy with their overall work and customer service - they did a crappy job burying the main line across the yard to the new meter, and they cut a gap in the sidewalk next to the house rather than go underneath, etc. After a lot of nasty back and forth, he finally told them not to come back. I believe the installed cost was $30K, then he had trouble with PSO “seeing“ the input from the solar panel, and they started charging him double because that’s what the two meters said. He finally had to start keeping a daily log of the panel’s output, and after two months, PSO sent an engineer who got it sorted out, and my neighbor got credit for the overcharges. He said at present with three people in the house, he’s running near zero net use, but I imagine it’ll be at least 10 years before he recoups the initial expense, and he also has that eyesore in the 8-acre backyard, fully visible from the house. Not something I’d do myself unless I had at least a few dozen acres where the array could be hidden from view. [/QUOTE]
