Hi, We have a cabin which is approx. 1,000 sq ft with approx. 500 sq ft of workable roof space (according to astrum) The system we could able to get would produce approx. 5-6 kw of energy for our home. Does this estimate sound accurate? I don’t really have an issue because i realize it is just an estimate - But i can’t afford this amount of money for a solar system. Does anyone have information about companies the will lease solar panel systems in Pennsylvania? Or maybe some information on diy solar panel kits? Actually any information on how a may be able to afford solar power would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!
Cool question!
First, I am assuming you are off the grid, in other words the cabin has no connection to the power grid. A grid connected system is going to require the technical assistance of this company and you will be prey to any costs that they want to charge.
The good news is that you can tell Atrum Solar that you only want 100 watts of solar power on the roof and federal regulations allow you to expand its capacity at your own pace. Make sure you tell them that you want the system to have the ability to handle at least 2000 watts of solar power in the future so you can expand as much as you want without buying more equipment.
Second, I encourage you to build your own solar system in the interim. Total cost will be less than $1,000 and you can power a television along with some lights with no problem at all. The solar panels you buy can be connected to the system that you eventually purchase.
The biggest gain from building your own solar system or DIY is that you will understand the costs of the technology and can fight back against over priced estimates. Here are some of my articles on this subject:

I am not paid by any solar company or electric utility for my advice. I am doing this to advance the knowledge of solar power.

after seeing this —> http://www.altestore.com/store/Kits-and-Package-Deals/Off-Grid-Residential-Systems/c567/ and searching Rip-Offs dot com , I think that I can’t believe in Earth dot com MotherEarth catalog , etc. I’m a jack of all trades which makes me a Fool and a master - of - none , but don’t fool me thrice ! Is there a good link to build this mouse-trap or should I just max-out my credit card for a pipe-dream ? Maybe I should forget PV and just sweat copper pipes for solar water… BTW: I love removing old TV antennas and installing FREE-to-Air TV service for semi-retirement in NOLA. What’s your input [GI-GO]
I just looked at what you are referring to.
In short, the answer is a resounding NO.
They are only 4.5 - 12 watt max sub units that can produce that only under the absolute best of conditions. Additionally, in order to make any real use out of them, you would have to take anywhere from 8 - 10 of the larger units to store enough to run only minor electronics for a while. Say you wanted to run one brushless motor for 1 hour. You would need to store the equivalent of 36 volts at 600 watts. These panels will let you store enough for an 1/8th charge, at max capacity for a day, on an average auto battery.
It’s not worth it unless you create a full array.
