Welcome Aboard

 

Good Sunday lol

 

Morning gents

 

Speaking of efficient housing. I have a couple of neighbors that installed solar panels. They generate more electricity than they use and get some kind of credit for supplying electricity to the grid. It seems like a good deal. I may look into it next year. Even if I decide to sell out and move, I think it would be an asset for a new owner.

 

This is a 600 sq foot house that started as a Tumbleweed house.

Something about the idea of someone being able to tow away your entire house does not appeal to me.

 

Mmmmm, brunch.

 

I'm almost out, so I'm rationing.

 

I'll tow it away just to make those odds come true.

 

Its gotten so much cheaper in recent years too. Whenever I get around to getting a house I want to have enough space that I could dedicate a corner to panels, even if only because I'm an electrical nerd.

 

Apparently, mods can't take being told they are wrong very well, especially when it's true.

 

I have a 2nd story dormer with a nearly flat roof that would work nicely for a big solar panel. Elevating it above the roof would allow some air to circulate under the panel to keep that part from building up so much heat in the summer. I should talk to them this spring.

 

Have you played around with any of the online calculators to see what kind of output you can expect from a panel in that spot? I think they give a pretty good idea of whats possible.
