CarolinaCoug Intervention Needed

Battery back up for night/emergency off grid power. Do you have any trees or shadong on your roof at all?

Planning to have a solar system installed; talk me out of it

What planets? All of them? Seems expensive. Get Jupiter and Saturn for sure

Don't neglect Pluto. Pluto is a planet!

How long until your roof needs to be replaced?

KingDave

It's still in good shape; replaced after a major hail storm

ColoSpgs

9/24/22 9:24am

Will hail damage the solar panels?

Y05

9/24/22 9:26am

Large hail can break/destroy the panels; small hail should be fine

ColoSpgs

9/24/22 9:34am

There are only major hailstorms before your roof needs replacing.

If your electric cost isn't high you'd be better off investing in something else

Current cost is moderate but our utility system uses coal and will certainly transition to something more expensive

ColoSpgs

I think energy costs are going up because of such poor utilization. Solar & wind

Two tall trees cast some shade on the roof

Your south-facing house will look ugly with panels on the south side of the roof.

That was my thought, I’m wondering if he meant back of roof faces south.

Panels will be loudly and proudly displayed on the front roof

ColoSpgs

9/24/22 9:37am

I wouldn’t do it, but wouldn’t care if my neighbor did it.

Do it yourself or it isn’t worth the cost. Don’t put it on a roof. Unless you

Wait for the battery system or make an inexpensive small one..

It's a questionable use of federal tax money.
