Well, it's almost here! Closing in on break even.
Here's my production tracking link: https://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=50571&sid=46005
According to my inverter, I've produced 30.97 MWh of electricity since I turned everything on in 2016. That is good for $3,406.70 in savings at my historical $0.11/kWh rate. After rebates I spent $3,724.36, so all that remains is $317.66 or about 2.9MWh. So I'll be break even sometime in August based on last summer's production numbers.
No dramatic issues to report, they just sit up there and keep working. I haven't upgraded my panel capacity since installing, and I finally completed my basement last August. We'll see how that affects my usage this summer but I bet it will be pretty minimal. All LED lighting down there and it stays pretty cool regardless since it is mostly below grade.
