[member=108]Joey 810[/member] is correct, if my area losses power so do i. The solar panels that I (solar city) installed on my roof simply back feed the grid. The purpose of my system is to (during the day) produce more than i consume, therefore lowering my impact on the grid. The install cost me 0 ZERO dollars out of pocket and my monthly electric bill will be a fixed amount for the next 20 years. My monthly bill went down about 45%, and hey not only is it good for my wallet but also helps the environment. If i produce more than i use than i will get a check from PSEG. when solar city designed my system they built it to produce more than i use, they did this by reviewing a year of previous bills. For me it was a no brainer. As for power when the area goes out i have a 6.5kw tri fuel generator to cover me on that. If anyone has any questions PM me your full name, address, and phone number and ill pass it to my account manager at solar city. They will check out your area (house location) and see if your home qualifies. they were extremely nice, very helpful, slightly persistent (pressure) to get it going, but literally handled everything and like i said it cost me ZERO!!!! solar is going up everywhere, and im happy that i so far (2-3 weeks) my systems global impact is the equivalent of not driving my car 232 miles and not wasting 56 gallons of water. Once your system is live you get an app on your smart phone or through browser that shows you live status of your system.. totally cool stuff and the wave of the future, i feel good that im doing something to help keep our earth clean...
