>monthly bill would be $9 higher with solar
How the fuck is that even possible? Is solar a scam?
Monthly bill would be $9 higher with solar
Ian Butler
Connor Robinson
low power bill, bad solar system, high energy needs, expensive panels
Gabriel Barnes
>lease
Joshua Torres
Because solar panels cost money???
Evan Lopez
>is solar a scam
Well, yes
Colton Murphy
You basically net nothing with solar anyways. At best you can expect to meet ROI nearly exactly before it's degraded into deprecation.
Lucas Green
>buy something outright
>it now also costs money over time
what
Brayden Sanders
>leasing solar panels
Holy fuck that's some jewery if i have ever seen.
Ayden King
Try repositioning the solar roof a little bit better.
Carter Sullivan
>home based solar
???
It barely breaks even ignoring the toxic sludge at large solar plants in the desert with adjustable panels while being bankrolled by the government. Its even more ineffecient at the local level

Because China was selling (dumping) Solar panels below manufacturing cost which killed the Solar Industry in America.
Trump put a stop to that thankfully and now we're paying realistic prices for solar. And of course faggot liberals are like but muh envinonmints like China is dumping billions of gallons of toxic byproducts into the ocean to manufacture them.
Lucas Rodriguez
fucking retard, transmission losses.
Henry Nelson
Because that's an estimate for a lease, OP. Leasing solar is absolutely fucking retarded. You're supposed to buy solar.

If you install your own equipment and know what your doing it backs out in like 5 years granted you live in a sunny area.
Apparently theres dumb fucks leasing panels for 20 years which is coincidentally the lifespan of any panel at most.

>America doesn't produce solar panels in any reasonable quantity
>put a tariff on imported solar panels
>now solar is more expensive and it still isn't manufactured here
Great logic.
>this much propaganda/baby boomer bullshit
But let's just go with it. What should one do to reduce their energy bill and their dependence on their utility company?
Angel Parker
no, it's Jow Forums/g
David Fisher
That's where you're wrong. That is leased not bought outright.
Cameron Peterson
>lease
there's your problem
build is yourself you pathetic prick
Blake Clark
That's because wind is way more effective. Free market found the best solution and it isn't China dumping.

>don't live near the coast
>wind stops blowing
>oops no more power
>live in the southwest
>sun isn't shining for like 3 days a year, maybe
>oh look I'm generating power almost every single day and carrying enough battery capacity to last through the (extremely rare) cloudy days is very reasonably priced
Good argument, FUD faggot
Anthony Diaz
Yes and no
You can sell energy back, but many places make damn sure you get the shittest rate possible for this, and this is where its a 'scam'
where I live they dicked everyone over who was generating power and selling it back, and then fineing you the moment you sent to much back so a wind farm we have near us is off most of the time.
If you can sell back at at least base rate, if not higher as people are stupid enough to pay more for green energy, its not a scam and can likely pay for itself.
