Get the book Photovoltaic Design and Installation by Ryan Mayfield on Amazon on paperback, or Kindle and read it carefully before you install solar so you know exactly what will work, what will not work, exactly what type system you need and then when you talk to solar installation companies you will sort of know what you want.

You have some great options in this thread and let us know where you end up choice wise!

So many choices !

Seems like there is room for other choices but at the worst, choose another deal. 

Ryan, I definitely wish I had rented the house a couple years ago as well.

@Kumar PajThank you for the reminder to be patient, and reassuring me that I have made the right choice in signing up with this site.

I myself am somewhat of a numbers guy so ideally someone who has an eye for the modern day design choices (while keeping budget in mind).I just arrived to Columbus this evening so would love to meet folks this week while I'm here.

You made that choice at the time for reasons that seemed the best course.

@Ryan CraigWas thinking more multi family, duplex’s and triplex’s

This can be very expensive and is usually the worst choice to make because you can't justify the cost.2.
