You’re teaching your children to take their own lives when times are rough. I’m not besmirching your freedom to “exit” or anyone’s choice but who are you, me, your kids, to make a decision of that final exit based off of criteria that is subjective and impossible to understand. Not even the very wise can see the end, apocalyptic world or not.
Hey guys I am planning to do my own solar and am looking into some kits and prices. I was quoted $22k for a 7.4kw system but I’m thinking of doing a 12.7kw one myself without the bloat of a loan and contractor install....
They’re facing kind of east west, there’s a direction in the picture. The slope of my ceiling isn’t strong. And from what my inspector has said here he also installed his on the north westish side because he gets more energy after the morning fog dissipates. Here’s a picture of the roof. The shadow in it is a tree I’m cutting down tomorrow (100’ pine). That shadow side is also the side with the 10 panels. The lesser of my two roofs.https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3dc22ecb-1976-4721-9580-bb8bc2be7b44.jpeg
I need to have a 3 foot section for fire department. Then 18 inches required from the top and opposite end. There are no restrictions for the gutter side. I set it up like that to show that I have room for longer panels.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about parallel. They’re all oriented the same way… The snippet to the right is my entire roof oriented to fit the screen, the blown up section is just showing the section of roof I’ll be putting my panels in.
Regardless, I’m going for function over form. The opposing north west wall with 10 panels needs to be pushed to the side like that because there’s shading on the other end of the roof.
I don’t think you understand homelessness. Forcing someone to be homeless isn’t a humiliating act. You might as well give the 84 year old man the electric chair.
I’m sorry for posting this here. There isn’t a solar panel instance, nor did I see anything for electricians. I know there’s been a lot of gripe with certain solar companies (solgen being in litigation, and others) but I didn’t hear much about freedom forever, since they’re new to Seattle area where I’m doing this....
Awesome! Well thank you. That’s basically all I really needed. I didn’t see any red flags other than the fact that they were sales people. Promoting a company that just came to Washington in January so I understand trying to get their foot in the door.
I made sure to get the quote and BOM so everything lines up after install.
I pay approximately $200 for electrical monthly. At least that was my last bill, about $210 for electrical using 11kw or so. They promise me 7.4kw monthly. So whatever that is yearly. I didn’t want a full system. I wanted to start with 1 roof, get the permits and incentives and the net metering started then add to the system later if I wanted.
I’m supposed to be getting an Enphase IQ8 micro inverter. I can’t see a kw rating on that though when I look it up. It looks like they go directly with each panel.
Yeah he should me what it would cost with a lower interest rate. I hate door to door sales men so I made him work. We say down and calculated every panel, micro inverter, framing, inverter, and permits and it came out to around $11k for just material. I’m paying $4k more for install of it all since I’m only paying 15k with the incentive. They’re obviously making more.
I looked everywhere to see if I can get the incentive if I buy and install the panels myself but I couldn’t find any details on that. It would turn a 15k system to a 12k system with my own labor
What numbers? I ran the numbers to purchase 18 panels with IQ8+ micro inverters, the solar edge inverter, the infrastructure and misc and it came out to just $3-4k under the $15k I’ll be paying. That $3-4k covers will be the cost of install and to get me onto PSE’s last few 1 to 1 net metering programs.
OK I want to look into doing it myself. Where would I start with the resources?
My only reason I wanted to tie to grid is to get in on the NEM that my local energy company offers. A 1 to 1 net metering. I live in Seattle and getting that energy back in the winter is worth it for me
OK that’s amazing. Thank you for this information. Yes with the rebate I’m paying $15k.
That was my concern, if I do it myself would I still get the rebate. I’ll call PSE on Monday and ask if I will get the rebate and if I can also opt into the 1 to 1 net metering.
I’m taking my master exam in 3 weeks lol. How I know so little about photovoltaics is embarrassing. But I can get a diagram and design built easily enough. I’ll call them Monday to discuss what they need.
Wtf are you talking about. I’ve been sparsely browsing tiktok since it’s creation and have no idea about any monstrous horrible things people did or see anything relating to some psyop program.
Ahh so the same ol reddit hive mind I wanted to leave behind. Just in another cultish direction, creating a meta of what and who is “right” and “wrong” while interacting here with the stupid use of the upvote/down vote system. What absolute social media garbage lemmy is going to turn into.
