Hi everyone, my name is Kevin, I'm introducing myself here because I've had a number of customers who've visited me in Home Depot buying a Nissan Leaf and looking at getting a Solar System to offset the cost for it. I've been working with the company for just over a month. I also want to let you know, Solarcity does offer building your EV hookup for a really good deal cheaper than Nissan does. I'm also rather bit an energy efficiency junkie especially when it comes to lighting. I'm very much an auto enthusiast who can follow vehicles down to near the gear ratios. I'm very happy to answer any questions you may have about Solar, Lighting in General, LED lighting. I'm not an official rep for the company but it should be known where I'm working before I start poking my nose into related posts with my opinion.
A couple of questions customers have frequently asked.
Types of panels we use. As a company we can use many different types of panels, we test our panels to back our performance guarantee such that if our panels aren't producing what they are supposed to we will write you a check. Higher efficiency panels are available, but they will increase the price. It's not typically recommended to go this way unless you have limited space that you want to build a bigger system onto.
My own recommendation is to actually request better inverter setup rather than better panels. The number 1 thing to fail on solar systems that I've seen is the inverters not the panels. Better inverters are typically more reliable, and, they have higher conversion rates. Going from a 94% inverter up to a dc optimized 97.5% inverter setup will increase your output the same as adding two panels to your roof and typically costs less to do. This in my opinion is also better than doing a Microinverter setup in regards to parallel efficency at 96 percent with an inverter in a much easier to service place.

Comments about the company:
A couple of major positives you'll find about Solar City Green Energy in comparison to the competition. We are the only 1 stop shop service Green energy company. Everyone from the energy advisor team to the installers that install the panels are working shareholders of the company. We offer performance Guarantee, and Best Value Guarantee. We offer three different lease options along with 3 different power purchase agreement options that are basically the same price as the lease but allow you to buy your system at a discount in 5 years.
