[quote=no_such_reality]You still did the right thing, which is maximize what you could do.
Our roof doesn’t face the right way either. We’re east/west roof with west in some shade. So we have our panels facing east on the slope and open to the south. Best we could do.
That said, the solar estimated for kind of the minimum system to take us down to just below tier 3 pricing.[/quote]
I’m partially lucky, in that our roof face North and South. However, the South side is much smaller than the North side. So, our system will take us deep into tier 2 during the Winter months and low to mid tier 3 during the summer months. Financially, that’s the best, since tier 1 and 2 from SDG&E are cheaper than solar. But it would be cool to if I could have spent another 50% more and have my entire bill covered.
