Any good?

My array is about the same size and mine puts out 10,800 watts, the array he's selling only puts out 5,850 watts.
 
Just thought I'd ask.

How much are you using per month?

Really not measured that way, it's measured by daily use. You use daily use to arrive at monthly usage. It depends on battery storage too. In my setup I have thirty two (32) 340 watt panels and 3,000 amp hours of batteries (power storage), and on a normal overnight I use 7% (not running the dishwasher or baking cookies or cakes), but when the dishwasher is run and or cookies and cakes, we'll be at 91% to 92% overnight. The following day it recovers with sunlight and we are typically fully charged by lunch and all surplus power after that (meaning everything runs directly off the panels) until the sun goes down and there is no more power generation. If the day is cloudy it depends on how overcast it is as to how much power is generated because even on overcast days you still generate power, but so far with the additional batteries, we have not had to charge the batteries from the PTO generator. We've gone 3 cloudy days and been down to 80%.
