Re: Solar Panels Cost of Ownership

another idea.

You don't have to pay a lot of money for solar panels and a big system. You can start by using shade off eves of your home, using the air conditioning at a more moderate temperature, same for heat.

A passive solar screen that block the suns heat on a south ,east or west window is only about 10-20 dollars. I remove them in winter to gain that solar heat. It saves much more than expensive active systems. I even stapled a radiant batteries in my attic, it blocks the heat in summer and even hold in heat in winter. very lost cost.

  It doesn't cost much to be a smarter energy user. Our clothes line is another  great example. We never use the dryer.
