Up but not Running yet...

[markie]

solar guys came and trenched, laid cables Wednesday... Power Co. came Thursday and put in new pole and in doing so cut into the conduit... Friday lots of brouhaha as the solar guys came to install panels but couldn't hook up... this week the 2 of them will have to figure out the mess... should be running on solar soon though!!!!

2. That's a big one!

Did you post details on it elsewhere?

[markie]

5. Not to be nosy but

how much did that cost?

[markie]

7. a lot!

27k... I have a small house but a very expensive electric co. bills run upwards of $200/month... it will pay for itself

I was in an accident in March with car totaled... I used the payout money to buy the panels... put the panels in my daughter's name so she can get the $7500. credit on taxes

11. That's not really a lot.

I paid $25000 for geo thermal years ago. But anyway good for you.

6. Congrats! How exciting.

I had solar panels and batteries installed 1.5 years ago and love it. Expansion being installed next week. The second round took 6 months to arrive due to shortages.

8. Could you share how much your was? I've been looking into this but I'm waiting for the price to go

down - or to find a cheaper solar company.

9. Yup

these guys are straight out working... they were supposed to be installed in April but because of backlog (and my accident) it took a few months.

12. Congrats, but let me get this straight

The solar guys dug a trench for the conduit to get power to the house and then the Power Co intentionally put their pole into that freshly dug ground? Sure doesn't sound like an accident.
