Heh heh, I should probably be less self conscious about it than I am. But to me and I'm sure you as well, solar = independence and I'll take as much of that as I can get these days.
How much power is your array going to produce once it's up?
I have to get a solar company back out here after the last tree (which is actually 2 in a big V) is gone. I had a company out last year and I only had 35% of my roof with enough sun. Once this last tree is gone (and with the others I had cut down or trimmed) I should get enough to power my whole house and/or fill up 2 power walls. I'm in TX so there is plenty of sun, but part of my yard was so shaded from the tall and thick trees I couldn't even grow grass there.
I just know I want it installed before we lose the higher tax credit, and before my power contract is up where I get nights free. I was with a power company that was bought by Reliant. The old company was pretty cheap and Reliant has to honor that, but once June hits my power charge will likely double unless I can find another company that is similar to my old one.
At least now I have A LOT of firewood in case the winter is bad like in 2020. The tree guy cut the trees into firewood and brush, and he hauled the brush away. I actually saved money by him cutting the trees into firewood-sized pieces so he didn't have to haul it and pay to dump it. During that bad storm I was without power for 4 days (and it hit -2 F). I ran out of firewood quickly but neighbors brought me a good amount. I can return the favor now if necessary.
