Here in northern NJ, we lose power a few days a year. Some years we'll
have a storm that knocks out power for two or three days. After
Hurricane Sandy we lost power for ten or eleven days.
Obviously the cost of the lost power is negligible, even at PSEG's 17.5
cents per kWhr. That doesn't

RIght my Sunpower array is insured and bonded for complete parts and labor
for 20 years. The Sunpower PV is guaranteed for efficiency. In 20 years
my PV should be still more efficient than any of the lower cost systems are
new. Nothing matches quality manufacture for long use durable goods.

SunPower offers a better loss-of-efficiency-over-time warranty.

That's what my customers are doing. That's what Tesla is selling for a whole
lot more. Be careful connecting anything between your solar inverter and the
grid, as it is protecting the grid from power during a power failure.

SC are newly manufacturers. SC bought SIlevo and plans a highly automated
facility in Ohio I believe. They may intend to honor a warranty that is
beyond what the current panels should be. But since the mostly own the
panels and the electrons they make for the installations, it is not worth
