My solar power pays my light bill and then some. The power company gives me money. Bwahahahahaha! If I had some batteries I could disconnect from them altogether. But seriously, solar is not for everywhere like it is here. I’ll never have snow on my panels (I hope). Plus I think it is only sensible on a small scale like a home where there’s no distance for transmission of power. The best part is that doesn’t take up a bunch of land. All that space is already out there on millions of roofs.
And as a slide, don’t get me started on how much we could grow on lawns.
Did you put it in yourself?
We’re sitting under a fully installed solar system that’s not yet turned on, because we’re waiting on inspections. We even have some backup batteries, but from what I understand, we’re not able to fully disconnect. Still will get a bill because we have to pay the FPL administrative fees. Heaven forbid they’d let that go!
