    Is this a good deal? It looks pretty good to me . . .

    ALL:, I just wanted to follow up on my installation by Mother Nature Solar. Mark and his team did a kick a$$ job. Everything went smoothly, and they even stayed in local motels (they live pretty far away) just to maximize the time on the job. I couldn't be happier with the bid or the job...

    Is this a good deal? It looks pretty good to me . . .

    It's just about done. It took more time than I thought to get HOA approval and the county permit. In both cases Mark's designs were approved with no problem, but each process took time. They started the install this week and should be done by the middle or end of next week. So far it seems...

    Acceptable Battery Loss

    I took the "no more than 20% in 5 years" statments that Nissan made to include the real possibility of rapid loss right away with leveling off. So, I am actually a 6) up to 20% in the first 12-18 months but you can put me down as a 5.

    Being a Nissan LEAF owner sounds pretty stressful...

    What did you pay per watt DC for solar?

    Wow. That's a ridiculous price! Wish I could have gotten that. Craig

    What did you pay per watt DC for solar?

    I am pretty sure my Mother Nature Solar install includes the Envoy as well. He said he is paying extra for the computer that connects the panels to the internet. Craig

    You might want to Mark a call to see. I bet he would install in Mountain View. I live way down in San Juan Bautista (south of Gilroy), and he drove down personally on Saturday. He is starting the install this week.

    What did you pay per watt DC for solar?

    Agreed. He came by for lunch yesterday and we finalized the deal. I was very impressed by his attitude, knowledge and goals. He is really on a mission to provide affordable solar. So far, I recommend him highly. I will keep the forum posted as the installation goes forward and alert you to...

    No need. This deal is good enough that I don't need to finance it. Craig

    We will put the house and the cars (both a Leaf and a Volt) on the same meter. 5.52 kW will hopefully get us down to just Tier 2. We do use about 1000 kWh per month before the cars. Craig

    I just met with Mark Davis from Mother Nature Solar (http://www.mothernaturesolar.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). He seems like a really good guy and we decided on a 5.52 kW system at $3.79/watt. Total price installed $20920.80. After the California Solar Initiative and...

    Adding a small sub-woofer??

    I installed the Infinity 63.9i speaker upgrade last weekend, and the sound quality is sooooo much better. The only problem is that they only go down to about 45Hz. I know there have been sub-woofer upgrades that put tube woofers in the back, but I was looking for something more hidden. Does...

    Wealth of information thanks!

    Joe, I'm curious. Do you have people coming in to look at them, and it's just that the price is too high? Or is no one coming in? Craig
