FAQ
Before you buy
Do I need an electrician or a permit?
Rules vary by state, county and utility. Most jurisdictions require a permit and a licensed electrician for the final grid-tie or main-panel connection, even when you handle mounting and wiring yourself. Check with your local building department and your utility before you order.

Twenty 620 W solar panels (12.4 kW total), a 12 kW inverter with a 200 A grid bypass, PV combiner boxes, MC4 connectors and a UL-rated grid-tie backup. Batteries are not part of the listing, so call us if you want to add storage.
What does the warranty cover?
