This sounds great and all, bud I still can’t afford to have solar panels installed.
Not going to lie: It’s pretty expensive, and I wouldn’t recommend buying them if you need to get a loan to do so. The loan costs would eat into your solar savings. Other tips:
But, out of that hassle, you get the piece of mind that you’re (mostly) using renewable energy, saving on electricity bills in the long term, and have a natural whole-house UPS to keep things running during outages. I really hope we get to a spot where installing solar panels is a requirement to building a house, like HVAC or water pipes.
The way it is nowadays (from the little research I have done and knowing people who had them installed), I can’t justify having solar financially at all. I can’t afford them outright and the loan is the dumbest shit ever. My sister in law took out a loan for them (with government subsidy) and her payment is $130 a month for 15 years. Asked her how much her electric bill was before, it was around $50 - $75. Lol I laughed hard when I heard that.
