Do you have any data about your solar system performance? What electricity savings have you seen since going solar?
Two electric bills of zero so far!
What advice would you give to someone considering going solar?
| Consider your age and how long you plan to live in the house with the solar panels. At my age (77), I’m realizing that I need to downsize and have less physical maintenance of a house, so will sell my house in less than 3 years after installing the solar panels. The house with solar panels will last much longer than I will live in the house. If I had it to do over again, I would not consider having solar panels installed at my age and physical ability. |
