    None so far, but 16 are going up there, almost 10 kw.
    We're still waiting for the delivery of installation material for our roof. We have roof tiles, not a metal roof, so they needed to order those materials.

    does Noreco have a buy-back option?

    Noreco apparently does have a "deliver excess electricity back to the grid" option, but from what I hear/read about it, they only pay you about half per kwh of what they charge you, and it is said to be a long, expensive and very bureaucratic procedure to even be approved to deliver back. Lastly, from hearsay, their payment to you isn't cash or bank but only "credit". In other words, if what I hear is correct, you can use your credit only to buy their electricity.
    Yes my installer sourced the components. He's not the cheapest but knowledgeable and professional, plus they'll observe the working of the installation for the first two months and give me three years of maintenance for free.

    We have friends who have a grid tie solar system installed where the excess is delivered back to the grid. You're correct that the procedure is very bureaucratic but it is also expensive. The system had to be approved by Noreco at a cost of around P30k. They do pay back in cash, eventually, but it takes more than 1 year and many visits to their various offices to get the money. Not worth the hassle IMO.
