Hello Solar experts. What is the Gimick in this add? Two weeks ago there was a similiar one for $1800 at 12KW.
This makes no sense as some people pay about $20K+ for a house system. Maybe $8-15K if they do it themselves. I googled it but did not find anything on these solar generators in my searches.
I use 4000 KW-HR a month. So even if this Generator system operates at 50% during a 8hr sun day that would be: 12KW x 8hrs x .50 x 30=1440KW-HRS a month. Or about 36% of a monthly bill.
I am sure alot of factors are missing. Ie cost to wire into house. It would probally only be able to work off grid.
The 12kw is nonsense. They state the panels will produce ideally 500 watt-hours per day. Would take days to charge a Volt. That's only 15kwhr per month. Not much of a dent in your monthly bill.
