Looking for seller / installer in Eastern Canada

Looking for seller / installer in Eastern Canada

Briefly -

My finances and solar technology seem to be at the place where I am ready to take the plunge.

My location is here Google maps satellite view shows a huge simple roof line above the shade trees which I think is a good candidate for roof mounted panels.

[1] The home was new in 2003, so the current shingled roof is almost 15 years old. **Should I redo my roof BEFORE placing solar panels, I'm looking for wisdom that will minimize maintenance cost and effort.

[2] We heat with wood heat for less than $500 a year. Our electric bill is probably $110 a month including rental of hot water tank, and other fixed charges for $40 / month. Our rate is 10.81 ¢/kWh, so we are probably at 600 kwh/month.

[3] Our insolation for Moncton is averages 4.8 hours per day. 7.2 (high) 2.4 (low) source

[4] I assume I need between a solar system that provides 6-8 KW.

[5] Our province does net metering and I wonder if this is the best way to start, or should I plan for fully off grid?

GAEA Research demonstrates their new energy technology called RSET. It sets the benchmark in high density, clean energy generation. Chief Scientist, Nigel C. Cheese, states the device collects Background Stellar Radiation via a RPP (Radiant Power Panel) offering compatibility to traditional devices.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav
