I want to do solar panels and batteries too, our type of roof (standing seam metal) and the north/south alignment has been arranged with panels in mind. I just need the money to afford the setup, just the house itself is taking up quite a bit of cash!

Yeah man! Gotta be careful that you don't strain yourself too far! I lucked out that the timing was good for me.

Just one thing to keep in mind regarding standing seam systems - do not go for cheapest ones. Actually look for company that will come over and pick the mounting to fit the seam properly. 'Universal' clamps, especially cheap ones, can move under high wind load. Seen installations that needed to be removed completely since they slide down the roof plane...

My uncle has a roofing company, they did the install. They do good work.
