Nope.
I do this on the side.
I think the position is in Richmond, CA or Austin.
I'll see if I can convince them to open a office on the gulf coast.

Our builder/designer has received a number of national Dept.of Energy awards for his construction so we trust his judgement. I was not interested in battery storage due to cost and maintenance, but your suggestion is a good one. If we lose power, we will rely on candles and the wood-burning fireplace at night and during overcast, winter days. Thanks for all the good information.

Sunpower huh? Great product, insane price.
Why can't you leave it at this: some homeowners are able to self-install. As with ANYTHING, you save money when you do that.
Most people can't, or don't want to self-install. They pay for my or someone else's expertise to design the system right, install it right, and handle all of the paperwork.
Neither is a bad option.

I would be concerned that you'll have overkill. With thick walls, geothermal, ect, your electric bill probably will never approach $180 monthly that needs to be offset.
Just my $.02

Is natural gas or propane readily available?
You can toss in a generator and transfer switch as your emergency backup when needed if it is.
Nevermind. It looks you don't have a grid-tie system.

The job sounded great but I'd have to take a big pay cut for the Austin position and would break even salary wise in Cali, but the COL is much higher there.
