Solar is pretty damn sweet. My only gripe is that I installed my system before getting an EV, so during a couple winter months I sometimes have to use electricity from the grid. Not a lot, but just enough to make me mad that I’m not 100% self sufficient. Had I gotten an EV before installing solar, I could have gotten a bigger system.
My power company has some rules that say I can’t do net metering with them if I install a system that was greater than 100% of my average annual usage or some BS.
Ouch that sucks. I don’t want a roof install though that seems the most common. I got a half acre open land with farm land east and west with no trees so I figured I could do a decent size system.
That’s awesome. There’s a guy I’ve met in a small town in Iowa that has a setup like that and he lets people use his Tesla charger since it doesn’t cost him anything.
