Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
State Farm should pick up the tab. Let the adjuster know that Solar City won't be picking it up. State Farm will probably make you pay for it out of pocket first though.
This is what hail damaged solar panels look like; some pretty serious spangle going on there. Sorry the pictures aren't better, I was on a boom lift and the guy using it was just learning. Better than any amusement park ride I've ever been on, that's for sure.
Now that I had the time to look at that picture better, that is A LOT of solar panels. If my count is correct, I'm getting 49 panels. I want to say that is all one house. I wonder how much power that set-up generates.

Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
That's a lot more than most, isn't it? Aren't a lot like 4kW?
More than that. There are some on the face of the roof aimed away from you. Above the air conditioner.
Panels are roughly 30"x66", so gnihcraes is probably accurate in the 200-250W panels. 10.6-13.25KW based off that. I'd actually guess that that is an off-grid solution having that many panels. No guarantee, but that's a LOT of panels.
I see the other panels you're taking about now, behind the BreezeAir (been seeing a lot of those lately as well). This was an HOA community where most of the buildings are joined condos. Pictured is the single family home section. A lot of these newer communities that I'm seeing have a very heavy solar presence. I'm interested to know what percentage of people with panels have any sort of battery bank at all. I imagine the number is in the single digits.
Agreed. The percentage that have any battery bank probably starts with 0. IE 0.1-0.9%.
The leased/purchased solar plan is almost entirely about generation and sale, not energy independence.
Here is an article about a solar neighborhood in Arvada.

Grant, would it be feasible to use a solar set-up with both capacitors and a battery bank? I'm thinking that the capacitors would be your workhorse for most use, which would keep your battery bank unused for longer periods. Seems like you could work off of a smaller battery bank for recovery if the super caps can be operating more quickly, giving the batteries more time to charge back up if there were several days without good sun.
I have an idea for a project. If it becomes a reality, I plan on contacting you as I'd like to make a serious effort if the time and money are there at the same time.
