I need to make the decision to go solar now, today!

Well, within a month.
My first option is to decide where it will be mounted, so I need to know the size and then, maybe, there are different systems I could get. My house is far from ideal setup, which is one reason I've waited. I just have too many trees on my property which provide their 'free' air conditioning services -- or roughly $2000 a year to prune.
(I really just want a nice emergency supply and maybe run air conditioning in the summer, during the day is fine in my climate zone because it cools at night in California. I would consider off-grid, but I know almost nothing about all the mechanics/electrical involved.)
So, right now, I just need to know the mounting system, more or less, so I can get a new roof. Maybe, knowing where the electrical feeder cables will go, would be helpful, too. Kind of complicated, I think. I'm just going to put a few 'universal' mounts, I think, and be done with it for now, though.
