Please get more information here http://www.seia.org/manualdownload.php , CHECK WITH YOUR STATE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS FOR A REMOTE HOME SOME STATES PAY FOR SYSTEMS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE GRID!!!!How Much Power: Grid-Tie systems do not power your house directly, they feed the power they generate to the utilities net power meter, moving that meter backwards thus offset the power you use. Check your local utility to see exactly how they work these credits. This system will require a total of 2.8 KW watts of solar panels to be fully generating its maximum power back to the utility. Since this is a starter package, i have just include a starter set of panels that you can expand on as money permits.Payment: I prefer bank checks, wire transfers, and money orders for payment. If using Paypal payment I will only ship to the delivery address specified in the ship to section of the Paypal payment notification. If not shipping to your confirmed address, I may require additional identity confirmation information. If I don't receive payment in a timely manner I will provide negative feedback. International buyers can pay by wire transfer, unless paypal supports seller protection for buyers from your country and a US seller (Currently 109 countries are supported).Shipping: I can ship this Solar package worldwide, quite often international ocean shipping is cheaper than US domestic shipping, check to see. I have this grid-tie inverter in both domestic and international power systems The solar equipment is palletized so they can be easily shipped via truck, airplane, or ship. The battery sets that you purchase are palletized in groups of 16 or 32. This makes it easy for them to be sent by truck to your location, that is why I list freight as the shipping method. . If you are serious email me with your zipcode or international delivery port. If you can have it delivered to a business with a loading dock or you hand unload it at your house from the back of the truck, it will generally save you $100-200 in delivery costs. Local pickup in denver is possible, but shipping costs will be added for the solar equipment.Note to Buyers: If you have more than one negative feedback and a low positive feedback number (<90%) don't bid without my approval, or I reserve the right to cancel your bid.THANK YOU FOR BIDDINGsolarenergyquest@gmail.com for questions  _gsrx_vers_235 (GS 5.0.2 (235)) Place a Bid!
