we are getting solar !!!

Post by icfrugal2 »

I've signed the contract, so there is no going back.

I do know that no one here will say anything negative to me :D Thank you my friends :P

So, it's 19 panels.

$28,000 cash.

DH and I will be taking money out of our ROTH IRA's and some of money of mine.

Hopefully this way I won't go crazy in the summers when we run the A/C at 70 (BBBRRR) but dh isn't able to control his body temp.

It will take several months, but should be working in Jan 2023.

There is a tax rebate of about $9,000, but we really don't pay taxes, our income is low, so even after 5 years, I'm not sure that we will see the $9,000.

as is said, we will see.

IC, congratulations on getting solar! It will be nice to see those lower utility bills when you start using it!

That is awesome, IC! We have talked about it, but our lot is not situated correctly to make it work well.

That's really exciting! I don't just mean the lower energy bills....

It's just so amazing that we can take something that is free and available....sunlight, and wind, and turn it into electricity. No drilling, mining, refining, pollution, (and illness and deaths!).

It's sad that in 2022, though, solar is not on all our homes.

In my small town, we now have several homes that are going solar. Very interesting.
