I started the process a couple months back on eliminating my power bill by doing a DIY installation of 4.8kW Solar System on my home. I used Project Solar who helped with the design, hardware selection, engineering prints, submitting permits, and working with my utility for Net Metering. Overall this process was smooth and I wanted to document the complete DIY installation to help you do the same at your home. You can save a substantial amount of money but this is a major DIY project so only take on a project like this if you can perform all steps safely and within your skill set.
