Clarian Solar DIY

A new company called Clarian has announced that it will have a plug ‘n’ play home solar kit ready by next spring. The “Sunfish” is essentially a sun visor that you can hang over a sunny, south-facing window.
The device uses the company’s 250 W micro-inverter to feed energy directly into your home through any standard outlet. You plug it into the wall, and in another convenient location you plug in a circuit monitor that uses software to sync the inverter to the monitor, reducing the amount of electricity you pull from the grid.
Also, from grinzo.com:
“…Oh yeah — cost per unit of energy produced. A quick look at the Clarian web site finds this page with some specs on the panels involved. Said page says:
There will be two sizes of module, 200W and 1,000W.
Expected prices are $799 for the 200W unit…
“… The 200W unit produces 30kWh of energy per month, while the larger model is good for 150kWh/month.
The units will have a “payback in 3-4 years or less”. …”
