I’m installing solar panels. Looks to be about $35-45,000 for a 8.5kw system. Spendy, but it is calculated to pay for itself in 10-14 years (less if this article proves true). With an estimated life span of 30-35 years, it should be a good investment. I agree with you though, I’m absolutely positive that the technology will improve dramatically in the next 10 years and then rapidly increase after that, but can a person really afford to wait until the technology is perfect? Nope. Get the bets deal you can now that makes economical sense and upgrade later (if I live that long).
I live in sunny Oregon ..ha...and where I work there is a covered walkway that has solar panels all over the roof. I was told this provides all the power for the whole childcare center with power left over.
The thing that gets me is that Obama’s reason for doing any of this is totally made up. If he was really concerned for the environment he’d turn down the heat in the WH and quit flying AF1 all over the place and tell the moose he’s married to that she has to stay home more often. Oh, and another war...how many emissions is that creating? Typical Communist Hypocrite.
Install them tightly. Our neighbors in Phoenix had theirs done professionally and within a year they were blown down by the wind and landed in their front yard (and thankfully not ours). By the way, our lots were very large, but the wind can carry them once they have jiggled free.
