Default Solar power

The grid is your battery. Let the meter run backwards during the day,
let it run forwards at night. I have a friend who does this. His net
electric bill is zero, but he has power 24/7.


....Adn how much did his system cost? How much is maintenance per year on
average? Multiply the maintenance by two since everyone minimizes the
negatives of something they like... And now ask him what his bills were
before the install.

Calculate the amount of manufacturing effort that went into it all and the
effect on the environment the manufacturing had as compared to the same from
the power plant...

Most people find the net gain is not there unless they live in a very sunny
place.

Someone actually posted a map of the USA where it was profitable and where
it wasn't a few years ago. Wish I could find that now.

I hope your friend is ahead of the game, but if he is, I also bet he is in
open prarie country or the south / dessert and not a metro area like I am.
