As mentioned on earlier Blog, we are under way to have Solar Panels installed on our home. Well, all seems to be ready to turn the switch "Off" the Grid and power us to the good ole Sun.
But wait a minute said the "City" (of Palmdale) during the final inspection. These new installed Panels (17) are too powerful to be handled with "Only" 100 amp's coming to the Main Circuit Breaker Box.
"This system needs to be up-graded to an 200 amp system now" said the nice Man (Inspector) from the City Office.
Now let me see here; 1st: it is encouraged to switch to Solar, by getting a Rebate check from Uncle Sam.
2nd: even a check from Edison for going Solar.
3rd: from the City you live in, your getting the "Shaft"... by having to up-grade now(something that was never in the Cards during the work).
Makes me wonder, is it really the City or is it the Solar Co. wanting to make a little ($2000) more on the "Side".. so to speak? Anyway, they are willing to give us two options here.
One being, Pay cash in Full or pay on an twelve month plan with NO interest (isn't that nice).
I am sure glad they waited til all was 99% ready. As usual, the 1% gets you and bites you in the Butt.
