Ground solar really seems like a great way to go. I wish I had room for it!

I designed the system and picked the components but hired an electrician to do the permitted installation.

Can you go into this a bit more? I’d like rooftop solar but don’t like how opaque most of the companies are about the costs.

Does the panel really need to be removed? Would a plug shortly after the panel suffice? By plug I mean a waterproof DC connector, two or three wire depending on your panel.
