Battery storage had the wrong ROI at the moment. The battery lifecycle is typically 8 years with a ROI of 10 before cells need replacing. This is why we're going wth a bigger solar array, and future provisioning for storage Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 25Apr 15, 2018 10:46 pm Drew01 shokel1975 Drew01 I second the statement on solar, we're getting 15kW of Enphase system for about 7kW through M...

We were expecting it to be expensive, but it around $2,500, which we thought was acceptable. To pre-wire for a DC string PV system, the cost is less, as it's not as physically demanding and the material cost is significantly lower Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 27Apr 27, 2018 6:56 pm Our land settled today!
