Thanks for the heads up on this feature - had no idea. I pinged Jay and asked him about it and it turns out I didn’t get it because it wasn’t available when they installed my system a year ago. But he said just call the 800 number and ask and they should be able to configure/add it. So I did and now it’s showing up in my app. :Cool.
Thanks for the reco on Sunpower.
While there were some hiccups, in the end it only took 5 months from making our first enquiry to being up and running so I'd give them an A-/B+ overall.
The placement of the panels seems perfect.
2 days ago when we had full sun all day the lowest producing panel produced 1.94kwh while the highest produced 2.40 across 20 panels in 4 banks.
The 5 panels pulling in the most "expensive" power from 4-7 produced an average of 2.0kwh so I think we should at least break even over a full 12 months even after adding Envi electric wall heating panels to replace most of our gas heat in the winter.
Gas averages $40/.month in summer and $250 in fall/winter (6 months) so our goal is to knock down that winter number by 2/3 or so.
