Do you have Solar panels on your house?

The only way I can see Solar Panel / Battery bank setup making any kind of sense is if your home was out in the middle of nowhere and there wasn't a local power grid to tap into. Even then, you could run on generators for a loooooooooong time before you break even on the cost of a Solar Panel / Battery setup big enough to 100% support your power needs 24 hours a day.

2 of the people we know in the neighborhood have solar. Both of them , 1 a retired power co employe, said don't waste your money on solar. Convinced me.

I wouldn't mind having some panels, but I dont want the PV panels. I want the water heating panels so I can put radiant heating in the floor.

Agreed PV is horribly inefficient compared to hydronic solar thermal which can reach 75% and they can even be used as the hot part of a heat pump in the summer to run standard hvac

Neighbor got solar. 15g investment. Took xcel 1.5 months to do their part after it was all hooked up. 1 panel isn?t working and it?s been 2 months. Solar company isn?t very prompt in getting the panel fixed or replaced.
