I haven’t gotten billed since mid December, but my credits should last me through February 🤞🏻 solar panels were one of the best things I ever did.

Can you or others share some info about the right way to go about it? What is initial investment like? Payments? Roof condition, etc? I am interested but have ran across so many things that look like scams that now I don't trust anything when it comes to Solar.

Used a reputable, local company that employs their own installers. Workmanship guarantees for 10 years (a bullshit company won’t offer any of that) No money down, got a loan and amortized it when the federal tax credit came in (currently 30%). Company also handled all the paperwork- I didn’t have to talk to the power company once. My roof was only a year old- panels generally have 20-25 year warranty so you’ll want your roof to outlive that.

Same. I generate credits into November and then use credits from December through February. March has been one of my best months.

March was really strong for me in 2021, not so much last year. May is probably my best month since we’re generating lots of power but not using the A/C yet.
