If someone can manufacture solar panels cheap enough, light enough and small enough people will start buying them by the truckload. I know I would. It’s just not viable yet.
I agree. I did major remodeling of my property this year, and one consideration was solar. But, after looking into it and crunching the numbers, it simply didn’t make financial sense. I would have put the money to it, but the best case scenario was having it provide about half of my electrical needs. The solar people of course want you to “change your lifestyle” and learn to live on less.
I don’t want to change my lifestyle. I want my lifestyle and I want my energy source to provide for it.
