    In relation to how much power you’re going to make.

    Are you buying batteries? Unless you’re buying a whole lot of them ($$$) you’re not even making it one night running your AC like that.

    I spent $10k on a whole home battery and it got me 1/3 of my average daily power use.

    I stress average because summers were double that, sometimes 2.6x.

      Good thing you have a sun for most of the other 2/3.

        Have you even looked at the power curve of solar system output? You’re being obtuse.

        Plus you seem to have completely ignored the last portion of my comment.

        I rarely had months where I zeroed out my bill since I was in an area where credits weren’t a thing. My overproduction was sold back at ~$0.03 per kWh. I had to buy at ~$0.12.

        You can be snarky if you like. You’re still wrong if you think that’s enough to cover summer days.
