My $1000CAD Solar Plan:
- Four 250Watt Panels (65"x39")
- 1 Controller
- Roof Mounting Hardware
- Would make ~1100KWHr/year $132/year
My $4000CAD Solar Plan:
- Sixteen 250Watt Panels (65"x39")
- 4 Controllers
- Roof Mounting Hardware
- Would make ~4400KWHr/year $528/year
My $6000CAD Solar Plan:
- Twenty 250Watt Panels (65"x39")
- 5 Controllers
- Roof Mounting Hardware
- Would make ~5500KWHr/year $660/year
Questions:
- Dylan: In the event of power outtage. will it be super-easy to Plug in stuff?

New Sample:
- 8000Watts for $1600USD
- 24 Panels @ 330Watt
- 78 x 39 inches = In a 12 x 2 panels= 936" x 78"= 78' x 6.5'
- $0.20Watt
- $0.66Watt
- $145 400W Wind Turbine
My Usage:
- Tenant A used 8279+ 3351= 11630 KWHr/Year
- Tenant B used 7262+ 2877= 10139 KWHr/Year
- Tenant C used 12066+ 4772= 16838 KWHr/Year
- Downstairs I used about 1/3 of that
- The Entire Household uses about 20,000KWHr/year. $3208.54 We have Electric Heat. No Oil, No Gas.
Notes:
- Rebates: NO PST. No others in BC :(
- Feed into my Downstairs Master panel
- Ground against Lightning!
- A typical BC solar installation: 4kW, generates 4,400 kWh of electricity over a year.
