Can you share some details? For example, what is your annual power usage (kWh), what sized system are you planning to install (rated kW and number of panels), and what is the cost? Thanks.

On our case it is SECO, they seem very easy to work with to install Solar, as opposed to Duke, FPL.

It will be very nice to be totally self sufficient on renewable energy!
