quick question..... ive seen tons of these installed but i dont see any griding for panel protection..... is there any panel protection at all? if not go talk to your insurance and make sure they will cover that if there is damage.

nice! That is one massive system. If I read it right you wouldn't get anything from the government if you went with a system that kept you off the grid 24/7?

There's also a battery that will produce about 2 hours of power once the sun goes down.

We don't get to do that and get the credits/rebates/incentives in California. If you add a storage system here, you're on your own.

Yes we wouldn't get any thing from the government if it was totally off grid but our system has a battery backup, but the system therefore it only has enough power for a little less then 2 hours of use once the sun goes down or if the power goes off because a storm at night we can use it for back up to power our house, we can also set it just have it go to the grid system instead, that set up is ok with were we live because it's temporary backup power and it can be changed back to grid power.

that is so weird. you'd think they'd want you to be able to go off the grid completely with the brownouts they seem to get every summer.
