So much for your knowledge on the subject.

As for paperwork, that's involved without regard to whether it's
hooked up to the grid or not. *Ever here of a building permit?

heh I'll bet you wish you could do that over.



That's what is required here for any PV system. *And there
damn well sure is a mountain of paperwork to get the various
rebates, tax breaks, etc that make them viable.

Sizing the wiring and equipment is perfectly straightforward.
It's a lot more than sizing. * An example being, what kind of
