Thanks guys we are excited about changes we have made.
I recently held up my part of a deal with my wife to help pay for the solar install. I sold my most prized pinball machine. The sale covered all but $600 of the solar install after the tax breaks. I made good on a deal if we get solar it will sell this to help pay for it. I got the machine about 6 years ago and it increased nicely in value but its value was topped out anyway.
It really think it was well worth it.
That is why I pointed out the Volt and lots of EV miles we drive. To show why we use so much power. We take our kids to school every day it is about 80-100 miles a day. Down the road we will not need to do this so this will cover any panel losses as they get older or maybe a 200+ EV someday.
It is funny my neighbors ask me if my barn uses all the power form the solar or if my house can use some of the power also. You should see their faces when I tell them they actually use a lot of the power I make. Because I make more than my house uses.
Solar panel prices are looking better.
