Almost seems too good to be true.

Mostly because you didn't sit down and think about it.

You can certainly make a decent dent in the bill with solar panels, I doubt you will be able to get to no bill.

Is the 75kw system measured per month or year?

It is the amount of power the system can produce at peak sunlight and no clouds.

With the cloud cover we get, south LA gets the equivalent of 3.5 hours of full sunlight.

So on average, a 75kw system will produce 262 kwh a day.

That is a hefty investment....unless you really feel like you need it I would go without batteries and just use a grid tie system.

When you are short you buy power from the electric grid, when you are at a surplus you sell it at the same rate you buy it (The meter actually runs backwards).

Are you sure you have a big enough roof to place a system that big?
