Okay, I'm confused.
I got a quote for solar from US Green for a 4.4kW system, which includes 16 LG panels. He said to add 1 panel if I were to add a Leaf, and 3 panels if I were to add a Tesla.
I use about 639 kWh per month.
I got another quote from Stellar Solar for a 4.8 kW system. This system and the one from US Green was about $20k (before fed discount). But then he said I need to add about 300kWh more for an EV. That added 50% to his calculations, which brings my system up to $30,000!
Question: If I plan to drive 12,000 miles per year on an EV, and I use 639 kWh monthly, what size should my PV system be?
11/2015 Update: I haven't finished a year yet, but my projections should be pretty close. My SDGE bill used to be about $1750 annually. It should end up being about $366 annually after solar, which includes 12,000 miles of EV charging for my Mercedes!
I had the 4.4kW system install in 2/2015, and am on SDGE's TOU2's plan.
