The fact I can buy a 550W panel for less than $200 is a wonderful thing.
I can install 8 of them on my roof, 8 wall mounted type on my south facing wall , backed by a battery and hardly have to pay for electricity again. In fact I can sell electricity and make money from it.
That is nothing short of incredible, unimaginable even 10 years ago at that price point.
The sun is the best and cleanest reactor we will ever know! We just have to understand how to harness that energy better.
How much does the additional equipment (batteries, inverters, tie-ins to existing house power) and installation labor tend to cost?
But modern houses just plan those in anyway and the battery storage i'm aware of, they are only 10kWh which costs not that much anyway.
