San Antonio

Doing better out of the allergies, and beverage on!

 

I saw that congrats

 

It's a big decision, with lots of choices - paid for new roof, radiant barrier, and the solar under one big payment. Got a "cash" offer from the installer, took the whole amount out of my new retirement fund, and just made the whole thing part of the house. Wife pays the utilities, and electric has not been more than $30 a month since October. And the sun is on the low side face of the house, as it moves North in the sky over summer, instead of the 5 kw capacity, will be close to it's max of 6.3 kw.
So, we are happy, and can't wait to see what it's like as we go through the year. A year ago, I was working, not sitting in the sunroom with my little AC on.

 

It definitely sounds like the wise decision.
Our only issue is that we’ll most likely move in the next couple of years, and we won’t be able to reap the benefits.

 

That would be the case if you are moving, but you could look at the "free" solar stuff before it disappears. The tax rebate will likely end, and it may kill the "free market" though, and there are political issues not to be discussed here. Basically, the "free stuff" is a lease; the own the equipment, and any extra generation. You get a bill paid. But, I am told they are complicated deals if you move. Course, you might be rich, and could buy it and sell with house!
Basically, wife was retired, and I got retired in March last year. We've discussed moving on, but never can pick something better than Central Texas with a pool! And it's all paid for. So, we kill a bill, add value to the house, and this is vacation base. It's different for everyone!

 

I have come to really enjoy the San Antonio, but with her in the Air Force and my job we will most likely have to move away for a little bit. Thanks for the info Kurt. I only know a few people that have gone this route, and do you mind if I pm you if we have any questions?

Any time bud, whatever I can tell you I will be glad to. The software is kind of fun, but only have a few months of history. But you find out cool stuff, like even on a cloudy day all day, you still produce something.

I put all the horror of what we went through last year in the "Show Us Your Solar" thread - because I love pictures and tormenting people. Only really have the last "phase" to edit up, and that will come this summer, when I start to see the hard work getting done.

YAY! We need our surfer dude up and running!

 

It's for sure as bad up and down 35 South to North. I don't usually have it this bad - maybe because I was out yesterday all afternoon. The breeze felt so good - and then you look at a vehicle and realize that is covering you too!
