I’ve been toying around the idea of going solar power for acouple years now and would love to hear from someone that already has or has good informed knowledge of the process.
I average between 400-500 kWh per month in a 1700sq ft ranch house. To my eye my roof should have adequate room for panels mostly full sun all day. My one concern would be I wouldn’t want to put panels on street side so they wouldn’t be seen from street. Wondering what surface area to power needed is to see how much roof I would need?
Are their better systems out there and ones to stay away from ?
Long term I plan on staying here for maybe 10yrs. Need to move for better schooling choices once boy is of age. Main reason for wanting to do this is to not be reliant on the power company paying all the fees and bla bla bla. My normal consumption is cheaper than the delivery rates then add all the taxes and fees for programs it’s just ridiculous. I want them to start paying me I would also think it would help a lot with resale of the house which I have completely renovated to make very efficient consisting of insulation, windows all appliances, tankless water heater and 96% furnace,LED’s everywhere.
I’d really like to learn as much as possible about going solar so if you have any knowledge of it please inform me and thanks for reading let me have it.
