Once you sign up, they start charging you, even for bogus leads. You never get your money back, just credit (if you're lucky) to get more bogus leads. Also, they waste a lot of your time with different sales reps calling you, but never talking to each other, their internal communication is zilch.

Dave, Thank you. PVWatts does not predict accurately Unisolar (-0.21%/degC) or Sunpower (-0.38%/degC) or Sanyo HIT ( -0.336%/degC). In Los Angeles, I measured 6% more annual kWh from Unisolar over a 3 year period and over 10% more from Sunpower so far this year. Joel Davidson - Original Me

Hi Jim, I like using one of the design emulators for just this reason. PVSYST and PVSOL.  You can model each scenario and see how the numbers crunch. You import historical weather data for the region to get as accurate as possible. You mention the silver painted roof, these emulators allow you
