Has anyone had experience getting a local electrician to install a grid-tie-solar kit such as the one offered by Home Depot? The cheapest one is about $2588 for a 1kW kit.

Buy the $2588 kit, pay $500 for an electrician to install it and help him with any local solar/utility paperwork. Get Grid-tied, approved and certified. Total cost is about $3 per watt but only for this first 1kW. Then add on to it at UNDER $1/watt after all the approvals and certifications and grid tie are complete. The typical cost for full contractor systems is up around $4 to $5 per watt. Application to EV's (and EVDL list) is that this is the CARBON FREE way to charge.
