10 Biggest Polluters on Earth

[Master]

Why are you saying solar for houses doesn’t work? I’m seeing more and more of them popping up and my neighbors got one. I believe they said it’s working out ok. Granted today the panels are covered in ice. I’m just curious of your statement as I’m considering solar on one of my houses. I am trying to weigh the pros and cons. If I can get them installed for free and give the company the right to sell excess power to the grid I’m thinking why not.

Be sure to get a battery to store power from those panels otherwise when the power is out, the power is out ...as many folks in California found out much to their surprise.

Well yes of course panels on the roof and you are still on the grid. Battery storage is a different issue. I’d love one of those Tesla solar batteries at my house but they are very costly and although when we do lose power we have lost it for 4-7 days but it’s not a regular occurrence to justify the expense but I do get concerned about some attack on the grid.

My sister has the panels and they have a process where she sells the electricity back to the grid that she does not use and it is deducted from her bill.

Ya I’m thinking of something along that route. My rental place is all electric heat which makes people nervous as it can be expensive so I’m thinking of adding solar.
