Newer equipment will just make the same electricity in a smaller footprint. That’s all innovation will do for us. We are still making the same thing. I’m still much more for buying the system if you can. We just can’t ignore the majority of people looking for monthly savings and that’s when leasing with batteries makes sense
Cash is king Even with off grid Just buy it Who cares if you get your payback It’s about being free from corporate corruption and government interference
Julian, I think you left out something very important or I just missed it: Without a battery and in a grid-down situation (China attacks our power grid, storm/earthquake takes out the utility providing the grid, electromagnetic bomb (EMP), ......) you have no power in The Day Time or the night time. With a battery you potentially have both or at least at night. This is hugely important. Most people don't know and salespeople don't tell them that even on a clear beautiful summer day, if the grid goes down, they go down even though they have Kilowatts of electricity being produced on their roof or in their yard. VERY important to know.
@@Superiorsolarconsulting I understand, I just additionally think that when making a financial leap it is important to know if the battery option (if thats where you land) will provide power when the grid goes down as that substantially favors the battery option(?). Anyway, I send everyone your way or at least to your TH-cams like this one as you tell it like it is and you know so much better than most.
Best option for everyone in the state of Californian is to move out😂. That is no joke btw. For those that refuse to, like myself, the PPA looks quite appealing. I got pitched one with no escalator, .20$ kw compared to the average I pay SCE which came to about .37kw, and we all know thats just going up. That included adding about 22-26 panels to my solar array and 2 enphase batteries. Im thinking it over as pricing similar systems, even with having my electrician friend install everything is looking like 30-40k…. I am concerned that this will put me into NEM3.0 as i am currently on NEM2.0. Have you heard of this happening to people?
I can put a 11.520 kwh For less than 5000.00 With a duel fuel 10,000 watt generator added, 6000 bucks. If your a city slicker yes these avenues are your best choice. But if you live anywhere with a yard and direct sun. DIY, study, watch Will Prowse,. You'll save 10Xs the money. You Can buy a 3000watt 24v system for under 2500.00 bucks.
What are your thoughts on the durability of the other parts of the Enphase system: gateway, envoy, combiner, etc? Those are warrantied for like 5-10years?
What's your opinion of using Big Battery Ethos 48v solution that is UL listed (so usable in California). 30 Kwh w/inverter for $16K? It's significantly less expensive than all the major brand names. What do you charge for consulting on a solar project? Hourly? Per project?
Every situation will differ slightly although there is a lot of trickery and manipulation in presenting proposals which can make the price of projects look less and cover more of your bill than they really will. The solar payment may be less than your existing bill, but your leftover electric bill may be quite a bit larger than they’re making. You think it will be which will combine and therefore put you in a cash flow negative situation in the short term. If you would like I can take a look at everything for you and even give you a competing bid to see if the system you’re being quoted is really even what you need. 760-473-5878.
I’m only going to be in my current home for 3-5 years maximum, potentially less. The PPA agreement with no battery saves me almost 30% per month in Illinois. Seems like a no brainer no go with the PPA before net metering goes away in 2025. Am i missing something?
No home value increase. Could be a hassle to transfer it. A paid off system may cost more now but will leave more money in your pocket when it’s all said and done
Would you be able to do a breakdown for the prepaid ppa? I work for sunrun and we offer the prepaid ppa as our recommended cash option in CA for the ppa that allows homeowners to bypass the annual escalator.

Leasing for 25 years is such a deal killer for me.
Especially with solar tech advancing so quickly recently and seemingly more efficient.

Even with off grid
Just buy it

This video was very helpful. Thank you for clarifying the difference.
Glad it was helpful!

Yes this is true. I explain this to everyone I work with and I have other videos that explain it. This video was more on the financial aspect. Thanks!

I have a solution for you to add panels and not lose your nem2.0 status. Text or call me. 760-473-5878
Does a PPA without a battery still get the 60% 1st year federal depreciation benefit?
You get none. The company that owns the system gets the depreciation

Will prowse’s channel ignores a lot of real world costs and gives DIY’ers a false sense of ease
@@SuperiorsolarconsultingIn my experience everyone who wants to make you life easier just want your money. 😊
@user-bs7cj8cl3g I my opinion everyone's too damn lazy to do their own research. That's why they get ripped off.
What are your thoughts on the durability of the other parts of the Enphase system: gateway, envoy, combiner, etc? Those are warrantied for like 5-10years?
I’ve seen one envoy in 7 years fail

What do you charge for consulting on a solar project? Hourly? Per project?
I don’t actually know about this product specifically. I consult on a project basis
My solar + battery quotes still have the monthly loan payment as lower than my utility bill - does this change your assumptions?

Thank you seriously very helpful i signed lease yesterday i was going to cancel until i saw this
If you want a competing bid, let me know. 760-473-5878. We may be able to do a better lease deal
