Comments on: Solar Panel Installation On A Steep Roof http://www.solardave.com/index.php/solar-panel-installation-on-a-steep-roof/ Do-It-Yourself Solar Power. The main purpose of this blog is to research, purchase, install and test my own solar powered system. Why not document the entire process and take you along for the ride? Thanks, Dave Dugdale.

You need to keep in mind that even if the contractor gets a 30% discount, you won't get it from the contractor. You will pay full price. So for A DIYer it would be best to contact a solar dealer from the internet from some other state that don't charge taxes in your state. Work a deal with them. Most will cut the price just to make the sale. You have to keep in mind that 30% of $25,000 is a lot of money and you could talk them down a little. And on that big of a sale you should be able to get free shipping. Just make sure you buy a USDA approved kit system with the correct inverter and solar power for your area. In the winter panels put out more power and in the summer you have heat loss. You have to be able to get the inverter enough power to start in the summer and not so much that you will fry it out in the winter. Good luck, Do all the labor your self and hire someone to twist the wires to make it legal.
