Not a commitment I'm willing to take on any house haha. We got the house 4 months ago and I haven't even had a chance to walk around and get to know the area, so I don't even know if I like living there yet. I assume I'll like it, but we're trying to only use money that will jack up the price of the place if we don't like staying there. So, most materials are fairly cheap, but handymen are extremely expensive here, hence us DIYing the work just makes the price of the house inflate. I'm not certified to install solar panels, so it would be more of a non-profit purchase.

in a residential application, rarely does the cost outweigh the cost savings.
I looked into it and I'd break even after about 11 years.

thanks for the explanation, forgot you have a lot of wind power plants up there, that's surely the most convenient option.JonnyAngle wrote:Re: Solar panels

If you have to do it from zero i guess your calculations are right. I'm gonna have those in my next home, with an accumulation system, but that's because the house is new and they put it by default in those residential spaces here, plus we have plenty of sun . The warehouse where i work is huge and a lot of the working spaces are powered with solar panels, and we produce huge refrigerators, air conditioners and heat pumps, the energy consumption is high.
