But I have NEVER been able to make the math work. Our Electric Bill is roughly $2,400/yr.
Almost 30% is used at night (A/C set to 70 at night). The best offer for getting solar was
into the $30-$36K range. That's pre-purchasing 15 years of total electricity. More like 20+ years
When adjusted. And in FL, none of the warranty companies survives 25+ years.
So, I would have to prepay for 20 years of electricity to basically break even by the time I need
to start replacing stuff. (Now, if you can do it yourself, great).
And as the Govt "Assistance" for this is going away or gone. It's even harder.
Roof Leaks and then future Roof Repairs/Replacements. (Elon is on to something combining them). But I just can't justify it.
Now, I have my 4 panel system so we don't lose the freezer.
I think we need 1-2 more breakthroughs... But not sure if we will still be standing.
LOL
I've missed reading your posts.
(Perhaps you could go back to upper and lower case in your next one.;^)
Nancy, welcome back! We've missed you and I am so sorry about your fall. Not the trip you were hoping for, but you are still with us and that's wonderful :)
Leaving my neighborhood to the right, it's a busy 7 lane road. And the number of people in the RIGHT lane, that I WANT TO ENTER... Who do not signal, and then turn at the light I am stopped at... is QUITE annoying.
In FL, we seem to have 2 sets of drivers. Those who NEVER turn ON their turn signals.
And those who NEVER turn OFF their turn signals (like they are going around the world to the right or something)...
LOL
Keep unveiling truth.
