I wanted to share my first round of solar quotes for input. I haven't started negotiating yet. My home is in San Diego and my roof space can only accommodate 14 panels. Roof material is concrete S tile. Company C actually got on the roof, took measurements, and checked for shading. I'm told that shading would be minimal and only occur for a few hours in the morning on 2 or 3 panels. None of the prices posted include an electrical service panel upgrade, which I'm shopping independently of solar.
Your comments, advice, and questions are greatly appreciated.
