Man, you just can’t let it go...
Follow the poster I was replying too...
He’s said it would take “acres of solar panels” to power a 12kW A/C system... My point was it takes far less area than that claimed to do so...
Some of us own land... We don’t have to, or want to, put something like that on our roof...
Nowhere did I suggest the economics of it made sense.
You are wrong about subsidies and tax breaks not ever making it possible to break even for an individual though. The subsidies and tax breaks are the only reason it can work, but it is BAD economic policy.
I can get 100% payback in about 10 years including the cost of the money - if I were to become a taxpayer moocher. I have plenty of sun and my energy demand is biggest when it is shining - for cooling. The majority of my electricity costs about 35 cents a kWh. My electric bill is nearly a grand a month. You do the math...
I will say, as efficiency increases, costs go down and utility prices continue to rise it could make economic sense at some point in the future.
And thanks for the grammar correction... My grammar isn’t the best... Sorry...
I'm not hanging on to anything, but life, FRiend! I'm glad you own land. Go for it! Zero will insure the rates SKYROCKET to help you out...
