This is something I've been considering. Not because of "green energy" or "climate change" nonsense, but because of the expected rise in energy costs and probable power grid outage.
I'm sure there are people in this community that have done extensive research about this and I'm humbly asking for opinions from anons about this.
Thanks.
A little anecdotal but we have two neighbors that have solar through a solar company and they both hate it. They own their homes (no mortgage) but they are now in a never ending contract with the solar company.
It's the kind of solar company that installs their panels and their equipment designed to feed back into the grid and give energy credits back to the home owner.
If we were to do solar I would make sure we own all of the things. Decades ago we invested in a backup generator to run off our propane. I think if we were to do it all over again we would go solar and batteries.
If the units were not priced so high and the cost to connect to the grid was removed it may work. But connected to the grid solar is a rip off.
