So I can't really give you real life numbers yet. The whole process from design to turning on the system takes 2-3 months. Most of the wait is due to city and utility inspections. I was extremely happy with Solar City and how easy the whole process was. They were on top of all the permitting, even with your HOA.

Anyways, feel free to ask any questions.
