We install Solar Utility Interface Systems for as low as $4.00 per PTC Watt. Call or E-mail Us for your quote.
You will see many System Prices and Performance Quotes based on STC and not PTC.
This can mean a price difference of up to $10,000 for a 5kW System and that System's actual performance will be up to 1.5kW less. We are also seeing
many Systems quoted based on 5.5 Average Daily Sun Hours. That implies up to 1000kWh more production per year than
the System will actually produce.

HOW TO SIZE YOUR UTILITY INTERFACE SYSTEMGet the last 12 months utility bills. Make sure it's your electric service only, not the gas service. Calculate your average monthly electric Kwh Usage by adding them up and dividing by 12 or get the figure from your utility. Then select the option to the right that approximates your Average Monthly Kwh Usage. Clicking on that option will take you to an Advance Power Inc. Utility Interface System that will eliminate your electric utility bill. If you have questions don't hesitate to call us at 1-888-228-9694 (toll free) or 707-485-0588 or E-mail us. | |||

|
We sell Complete System Component Kits including Solar Panels, Inverters, Disconnects, MC Cables and Mounts if you want to install a Grid Tie System yourself or hire your own Contractor. Our Component prices are usually below $3.50 per Watt and we will help you with permitting, design and engineering as well. | |||||||
ADVANCE POWER INC. INSTALLED GRID TIE SYSTEMS:
| 1. All systems quoted below are based on their CEC PTC-AC Rated output. A Cost of $7.00 per Watt based the PTC-AC Rating of a system is equivalent to $6.04 per Watt based on its STC-DC Rating. | |||||||
| 2. All systems quoted include at least 2 Solar Panel High Voltage Disconnects. (Outdoor, 30 Amp at 600vdc). Most municipalities now require disconnects on the roof (Fire Department). | |||||||
| 3. All systems quoted include SMA Inverters with display and AC-DC Disconnects. | |||||||
| 4. Mounting specifications quoted are fully engineered for 50 lbs per square foot and 125 mph wind. Engineering specifications available upon request. Any special equipment needed for installing the rail mounting system on your roof will be added to our quote after a site inspection. For more information see Utility Interface Components for Solar Mounting Kits and System Installation. Ground Mounts are also available. | |||||||
| 5. CSI Incentive amount includes a Geographical Correction for Redwood Valley, Ca. (94.6%) | |||||||
| 6. All systems quoted carry a 10 year warranty. | |||||||

If your needs require a specific configuration based on size requirements and site layout we'll design your system to meet your
specific needs.
Actual system performance may be affected by orientation, tilt, shading and other factors.
Quotes are valid for Lake, Sonoma, Mendocino and many other California Counties. We will do a free
site survey to verify that the system you need can be installed at your location and that your site has no outstanding issues that might change the price. Our Solmetric test and measurement
analysis will show you, at a simple glance, your monthly and yearly sun exposure including time of day and
percent of total sun available at the site. We will also verify solar panel placement, proper mounting, and connection to your main electric service panel. We can also design the system specifically to meet your needs. We will file for your rebate
and permits. We will do all the legwork and paperwork for you. |
UTILITY INTERFACE SYSTEM INSTALLATION:We are licensed solar and electrical contractors (C-10 and C-46 #620243) and do all aspects of the installation with our highly trained crews. We do not sub out any part of the installation to outside contractors. We have our own fleet of trucks and we are the largest stocking distributor in Northern California.

To calculate a Grid Tie System's CEC Power Rating and its EPBB or PBI rebate when installed at an existing Residential or Commercial site use the CSI Calculator which reduces the incentive for geographical and/or design shortfalls. The maximum rebate for Residential Systems is currently $1.10 per watt. For Commercial Systems and Residential Systems over 30kW the calculator will give the PBI total rebate based on $0.15 per kWh times the calculated Annual kWh produced times 5 years. The Performance Based Incentive (PBI) includes the power you use as well as the power you send to the grid but requires purchasing a Performance Meter and paying for a Monitoring and Recording Service (PMRS)for five years. The PBI is paid monthly at the starting rate.
For New Residential constuction go to the NSHP Solar Calculator to determine your incentive.The maximum is $2.50 per watt. In either case the actual production must be field verified and the incentive adjusted.
There is also a Federal Tax Credit or Cash Grant based on 30% of the System's installed cost. For more information on
Rebates go to our Solar Incentives page. For Federal Tax Credit information go to our Tax Tips page.
