I'm going to go ahead with this plan. But slowly, slowly. I hate being burned by crooks and scumbags. But with care, I ought to be able to navigate around them.
Thanks again for the useful inputs.

Good to hear. One other word of warning. Our first installer said we'd be getting "tier one" PV panels....which means absolutely nothing when it comes to performance. The Q cells we ended up getting from them are VERY average
with low solar incidence angles, (winter) and only deliver 50% of their rated output this time of year.
LG's newest panels (as on our northern roof) are awesome. They have excellent overcast/low angle performance (80%) and if you are offered anything else say NO. Cheaper Chinese PV panels simply don't cut it IMHO.
