Getting solar at the house

They started Monday. Going to have about 100% of my usage on average.

Day one I left with this:

They should be all done by noon tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the electric meter spin backwards.

I got solar from SolarCity on my house. My last bill from Xcel was $8!

Damn I wish I could tell the HOA to pound sand and go that route.

I am using REC solar and my bill with xcell should only be the monitoring fee they charge.

Out of curiosity, how much do you pay someone like Solar City or REC? Do you buy the panels or are they leased?

Haha but you can tell them to pound sand. Increased energy efficiency such as solar panels supersedes hoa rules and regs. There are laws in place to allow such. I can look them up if you need.

You can do either or. For the system I am getting it would have been over 6K to buy it out right. So I leased it with an option to buy at the end of the contract.

If you have a south facing roof they can do some good deals for you.

lease payment?

Hoas I thought cannot regulate solar... Similar to satellite dishes. I have a coworker that lives in highlands ranch and he has solar. A few homes in my neighborhood has solar.
