Good news:
We got solar panels, power conditioner, and battery contract stamped just in time (before Feb. price hike).
Will install April/May when are abroad.
Local Kurashiki company, 25 year warranty on made-in-Japan panels, 15 year warranty on rest of system. Fair price.
And:
- can sell excess power back to the grid as needed
- panels with sufficient power our cottage and parents house but…
- not putting panels on the new blue roof or the visible tile side of the naya (purely for aesthetic reasons) despite good sun position
