The DC rating of this system is 2.88 KW. When you convert DC to the AC, there is roughly a 13% efficiency loss. The AC rating of this system is 2,506 watts. The solar industry uses 5 hours of "peak sunshine" as the annual average. This will have an approximate monthly production of 375 kWh with 5 hours of sun per day. If you did have 10 hours the approximate monthly production would be 750 kWh. You multiply the watts by the hours of sunshine per day by 30 days for the approximate monthly production.

Installation for the PowerG Grid-Tie Solar System can be done yourself, but would want to check with some resources to ensure proper set-up. Be sure to check local codes for panel installation, which can be done yourself and would consist of mounting bracket installation along with wiring the panels themselves together. You would NEED TO CONTACT YOUR UTILITY COMPANY and get an inter-connection agreement, allowing you to connect directly into the grid, and sell back unused electricity. The system itself comes with 100 feet of cable, about half of which will be needed to wire the panels together, so more may need to be purchased depending on how far away the panels are from your circuit breaker. You may also need minor electrical supplies, such as conduit and a breaker fuse.
