Solar

From earlier this month.

Thank you r1, but I want to know WHAT people bought.

How many panels?

Overnight battery?

Companion generator?

Does anyone have a system the loads Hydrogen Cells from excess day energy?

Not interested in the dollar side complaints that are in r1.

Do you have panels or an integrated roof?

I am interested in going off-grid while still attached. Odd?

Unless you have a huge house, you won't have enough to power your vibrator. Stick to the kick-started gas-powered one you're using now.

We did not purchase a battery, not only for cost reasons (and there's no way in hell I'm giving any money to Tesla) but that tech is likely to get significantly better in the years ahead. We have a gas-powered whole house generator that kicks on automatically. There's nothing climate friendly about it, but we're in a rural area and need power during thunderstorms due to potential water/flooding issues. I would stay attached to the grid, and move your excess generation directly to the grid and hopefully, your state allows net-metering so you can tap back into what you generated during the winter and/or cloudy days. We have 24 panels on our roof, all facing south. Yesterday was fairly sunny (for late April) and we produced 60.74 kWh and consumed 39.6 kWh (with 3 fridges and AC on, as needed). I've said this before so please forgive me, but get a free advisor at EnergySage. We had an amazing experience working with them and they're NYT recommended. You need to dig into the specifics of your area and the companies nearby and what they offer to get into true decision-making territory. What made sense for us might be different for your situation. As you've cited, there are many options and configurations. One last thought... we jumped in time to take advantage of the 30% federal rebate which we claimed on our taxes just recently, but who knows what Trump will do moving forward. I'd try to get in on that, and quickly. It knocked more than $8K off of our cost.

Personal experience?

Excellent info r4.
