“...the technology and the economics of residential solar prior to buying...”
Thanks for the informative reply. I’m not yet ready to invest in solar because of unknowns related to cost and the maintenance of the utility power + solar + battery system. I wonder if batteries will be a lot cheaper a few years from now. I have natural gas so a generator powered by that is tempting.
Batteries AND Generacs (and similar) *ARE* pricey.
Be wary of natural gas ONLY because in the event of a longer outage, the lines will lose pressure and you’ll have no gas.
*IF* you buy a portable generator, just make sure it’s a pure sine wave inverter generator. And buy big enough.
