missing everything. no subsidies here. gov wanted $20k+ and a year to connect to the grid. plus permits on permits and inspections.
this was $3.5k and a week of research + install with no permission ...
No tax breaks? Everyone I know who has solar has gotten tax breaks or reduced cost from the government (mostly Germans). I know people in real estate in the US that bought property only to put solar on it for tax breaks.
All in cost of only $3500 is wild. What does it produce in excess energy or if the grid goes down how long can it power your house?
Like I said, willing to be wrong but my perspective is that solar as a broad use for mankind is way worse than alternatives. However, maybe for the sovereign individual who uses it properly it could be the ultimate way to decentralize since you can’t do so with oil, gas, or nuclear as an individual.
Interested to learn more.
