I'm on TOU PRIME but the hours are the same. If you are a heavy user of electricity from 9pm-8am then you definitely want to be on Prime because of winter hours. I only charge my cars at 9pm or later but otherwise my regular electricity usage is non-discretionary.
Plus there will be days that you will build up a sizable surplus from being away from home. Like Sunday I wasn't home for most of the day and this was my usage
Congrats. What company did you go with and what was their quote per kWatt before tax incentive?

4-9 TOU is just during week days right? At least it is with PG&E.
I was also worried about peak hours being between 4PM and 9PM but we compensate our usage during that time with a high production during the rest of the day.
Our true up looks good so far. Probably too good, have to look into an EV soon.

I'm going to be giving Tesla a call to get a quote since I can't see it being that much more than just re-felting the roof.

Oops:Tesla is getting sued by Walmart who wants them to remove 240 solar systems after fires.

Here is to hoping that my roof doesn't catch fire...

So my solar installation is finally complete. A summary:
I read this thread on May 5.
I had sunrun come estimate my house.
I created an energysage account afterwards.
I told sunrun to fuck off.
I signed with a solar company on 05.30.2019
It was installed on 08.07.2019
Edison gave me PTO (permission to operate) on 08.21.2019.
So what now?
energysage.com had some promotions that I just applied.
1. $100 amazon gift card
2. $250 Panasonic rebate for using their panels
We'll see if I actually get any of this money.

So I spent $18,000 on this array after tax incentives
It should be paid off in 2026.
What if I had put $18,000 into AMZN instead of this solar array. How much will it be by 2026?
Today Amazon is $1,813/share (10 shares)
We'll have to revisit this post in 7 years.
I use TI as my personal time capsule.

Here is the reddit post regarding solar city tesla installations.
Apparantly if you have solar city panels on your roof, you may have a bad connector and it may catch on fire.
