Good call. It's very rare for someone to say they regret having more panels. What are you paid for energy sent to the grid?
One downside is that CMP doesn’t directly pay for generation, but you can bank credits for 12 months.

I would recommend keeping them. Mine are 11 years old. Still producing 99% from 10 years ago. Trump will also eliminate the 30% federal tax credit so he can fund $ to the rich.

My neighbor has Solar City panels from 16 years ago and he just installed 2 Powerwall. Loves the combination. He no longer notices a power outage. I think is electric bill is around $40/mo. His are also still producing well.

So basically net metering. That's a pretty good deal. What percentage of your overall needs do you expect to produce the least sunny months?

Exactly. We’ll see, but I’m hoping we hit at least 50-75% during November-March
