    That’s definitely a help, thanks for the details! The description of your plan sounds more along what was a available to us, but I’m currently paying off a 401k loan until 2027 so any huge project would need to wait for sure. I’m in Ohio and a few houses in my neighborhood already have solar, and we do get hail about twice a year here. I’d also want batteries as our neighborhood gets brownouts a couple of times a year too and that would help with it.

    I also appreciate how you explained how the tax credit works too. I’m hopeful to do something before they expire it, and I’m also hoping they don’t end it early!

      If it makes you feel better, the current cost of a battery that would last a day with reduced electricity use (like just fridge and some HVAC) is about the same that it would cost to buy a gas powered generator for the same purpose. So is not exactly impractical, but it is not cheap either.
