    1kw system = $4,300 installed

    It was an 'eye opener' when I saw the choices and prices you have in New York, New Hampshire, and Rode Island. Solar panel installation is not that complicated. Almost all the wiring is' plug & play'. The tools you'll need are probably in your garage. You can hire an electrician by the hour to...

    2013/2014 Nissan Leaf Lease Information

    Erik When I was looking at various 'Deals' in California, I noticed that the best deals were in the general San Francisco area . I'am in the LA area. We started getting the same deals after two to three weeks. It is alot more practical for you to look outside the Sacramento area and...

    2013/2014 Nissan Leaf Lease Information

    dm33 What do they do with a 'totaled' Leaf? Do you have any say in the demise of the Leaf wreckage ? Your survival says alot for the Leaf construction. Don't be put off by your new terms, they are pretty good, if there are no other fees.......Good Luck

    2013/2014 Nissan Leaf Lease Information

    Does anyone want to guess what the real residual value will be in two years. Consider these thoughts: 1) Many Leaf returns will be entering the 'used' market. 2) At this very moment, Nissan is researching current owners reactions to a heavier Leaf, with about 20% more battery. 3) Competition is...

    2013/2014 Nissan Leaf Lease Information

    Dekay- 2 questions: 1) What is a "money factor" ? 2) There is no such thing as "0" down. If your monthly payment were closer to $200/month then your 0 down payment would be over $5000 in this situation (they have a formula that allows for several variables, but the same end...

    Reserve power for the home

    Has anyone heard of the Leaf feature that allows the Leaf's power to be used to run a private home during power outages ? I read somewhere that some Japanese models were designed with the feature. If not, what would you need to use the Leaf's power on a home ?

    2013/2014 Nissan Leaf Lease Information

    Its been about four months, since I started my lease. One regret was that I wanted the lease as cheap as possible. While the QC was of little value, I took the 3.3 charger instead of the 6.6 charger... a mistake . I don't know if the State rebate is real any longer (lack of funds). I took the...

    2013/2014 Nissan Leaf Lease Information

    My landlord- friend will not have a property that doesn't have a positive cash flow. He also works in medicine but in a registry capacity . About 30% of his net income is from his medical work. If I remember, his Score was about 625. I would have leased him 5 Leafs before I would have leased...

    2013/2014 Nissan Leaf Lease Information

    I took a friend to Torrance Nissan for Leaf/Lease deal. I had pretty good luck about 3 months ago. My friend's financial situation is outstanding: 11 houses that produce a $3000/mo. rental profit after all costs; has not missed a bill payment in over 9 years on anything; almost no debt (except...

    OpenEVSE - Open Source Charging Station

    :?: I'am just using my converted cable (30 amp/220 v) to charge my( 3.2kw) Leaf. What are the actual amps being drawn at below the 80% SOC ? How do you 'balance' these batteries? I think a full re-charge is about 6.5 hour, is that correct?.......Thanks :)

    VOLT + Spark technology

    Maybe the Volt is the wrong way to go. How about a LEAF with a gasoline charger? This kind of Leaf could make it from LA to San Francisco non-stop.. My real point is that Nissan has probably thought of these combinations (Volt also), what are they waiting for? While I'am wishing too far into...

    OpenEVSE - Open Source Charging Station

    :?: I love my LEAF. I'am a newbie. Here is my beginner Question: Why do I need a EVSE station in my garage? I currently have a 30 amp socket that I connect to my Leaf through my modified 110v. cable. The cable was changed from a 110v. plug to a 220v. (30 amp) plug. My 3.3kw charger now...

    VOLT + Spark technology

    :?: I love my Leaf. I'am sure there are a lot of mechanical & electrical issues that are beyond me. Has anyone asked why the Volt couldn't use the Spark's battery pack and continue with its current gasoline generator? Under the roof of many Chevrolet dealers lies the technology that could put...

    Solar capacity needed for my Leaf?

    I have two old SMA's that have been working for about seven years. One installer referred to them as being " bullet proof". At that time they were also called "Sunny Boys", and were made in Germany. As far as adding solar panels' little by little' and DIY, the microinverters will work best for...

    Solar capacity needed for my Leaf?

    ERG4ALL- Thanks for the info. I never really understood the the " flat part of the curve before". I wounder how that would apply to the newer microinverters that are made for larger solar panels. SMA, Energy One, and Enphase are the only companies I know of that address the need for those...

    Solar capacity needed for my Leaf?

    Darthpuppy- :) We are in the same boat. I'am not far from you and I'am stuck with SCE also. I 'guess-estimated' about 2-3 kW of panels for the Leaf. Since the install is so routine,(DIY) and micro-inverters are plug-in-play, I decided to put in 2 kW of additional panels to start with. I'm using...
