    Detailed Description
    Required size of solar electricity system: Would like recommendation

    Buyer's quarterly electricity bill from last winter (in $, approximately): 450

    Buyer's quarterly electricity bill from last summer (in $, approximately): 280

    No. of people in the household/ premises on the solar power system: 4

    Description of available roof space: The house is North facing. There are several trees around which cause shade most of the day on the Eastern facing side of the roof. So it is better to install the solar system on the Western side which is roughly 7m x 15m large - see photo. The photo was taken today at 3pm (12.3.2011) - you can get a good impression of the amount of shad at that time of day.
