Home solar system

Home solar system

I’m not sure if this is the correct place to post this question but here goes.

I am in SoCal and my electric bill per month over the last 2 years is 120-360. Prob avg 160 per month electric only. We recently installed a hot tub and now my electric only is 370 per month. kWh avg around 500 month with spikes to 700’s 3 month a year in summer. My recent bill and first with hot tub shows 1,069kWh for the month. About a 500 increase which pushes me to higher tiers etc.
So looking at solar.

We have concrete tiles and my roof faces east and west. What size system should I be looking at 5KW, 8 or 10? I would like the capacity to add an electric vehicle in the future and no longer worry about running ac. Assuming I need to re-paper roof as well.

I also have a 100A FPE panel I assume will need to be upgraded as well to modern breakers.

Any guidance that could be provided will be appreciated. I am currently collecting bids via yelp but wanted to reach out here to inform myself.

Thanks

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
