Featured The EV version of the "Dust to Dust" report

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on that matter.
I live in an area that for now has low electric rates and no incentives for solar.
That landscape could change quickly as our plentiful coal is not the best way to produce electric and may soon not be practical.

From your post you have lived a number of areas and have a wealth of experience with different electric rates and different strategies for coping with electric rates in many areas of our country.

I am very interested in post like yours and 3PiusMike that share your experiences from different parts of our country. It is a great opportunity to learn the lay of the landscape in different situations and areas.

Actually, that is why I post on Prius Chat to learn and get the opportunity to interact with the people who have had different experiences and knowledge gained from situations that I probably couldn't imagine. They would have different ways of looking at situations that I could learn a thing or two from. For me that is the most exciting part of Prius Chat!

 

Son has solar. Plus EV and PHEV. LOves 'em.

I explored and only quote I got was ugly, in the front of the house and not even symmetrical. Since I will hopefully move in two years to where someone will bake my electricity into my basic cost it made no sense. Roof is in very good shape but shingles are 18 years old.

 

Depends upon the region.
In MN, houses with solar sell quicker and for more than those without.
It isn’t a large amount, but it definitely isn’t a loss.

 

Okay you're going to force me to clarify

Didn't mean to infer that it was going to be a loss or break even, but consider a million dollar house (which isn't too rare nowadays) & it sells for $10,000 or $20,000 more than the next door neighbor that doesn't have solar. That's what ...1%? - 2%?
Statistically that percentage is a non-event. Does it quantify? Was it the bamboo floors? Newer roof? Unbelievable landscaping? So when I say that solar resellers are making a claim that's not true, I should have more accurately said there's a WHOLE lot of puffery going on.
