Does anybody have solar on their house and have thoughts they're willing to share? @DeerHunter53?
I'm getting ready to build a house and have looked at solar panels with a battery backup. The system the guy recommended was 10kwh with a 15kwh battery backup. He estimated $30k installed and said it would "cover a $150/month electric bill."
That's a 16yr ROI if there's no maintenance. I like the idea but don't see it how it makes sense for me financially ?. What am I missing?
Also, it'll be on propane so I'm going to put a backup generator regardless of whether I do solar or not - so I'll have the emergency side already covered.
Thanks in advance.
