And Bama has a lot more cloud cover than here in southern AZ. The best months in AZ are May and June, then July sucks because it’s monsoon season, lots of clouds. One thing I learned to watch was the inverter. My inverter gave out after about 5 years and needed replacement. That’s additional cost I didn’t figure on. Good Luck.
My inverter has a 10 year warranty, my batteries a 2,000 discharge warranty (19 years), and my panels a 25 year warranty.
Of course, all of them assumes each one of those companies will still be around if the products need replacing.
