Two years into a 5.6kw solar system on a 2000 sq ft home in Idaho I can say that it covers all of our electrical needs. We typically only use A/C June through August and this is when solar production is highest, producing about 34kwh per day. In winter we use 1/2 as much electricity and our solar panels produce about 1/2 as much energy. This is a pretty good match for our lifestyle.

wow, really good for 5.6 kw system!
My mini-split has been running on 90% solar for 10 years already.
lovely! do you run AC at night?
How much for a 12kBTU unit.
btw the math is off: 25% lower is not the same as 25% on top of it, its 33%
12000 btu is around 1000-1500 watts, probably? depends on how you use it but three-four 400W panels should do it, i think.
SoCal electricity is $0.40/kwh in tier one and $0.50 in tier two plus taxes and fees. 🤬
holy f c k
ouch :(
