Not me, I put in solar panels 5 years ago.

    Our solar panels are probably the best investment we ever made. Year to year our electric bill averages out to zero, even with charging our EV. Over the summer our batteries participate in our electric utilities virtual power plant program, which pays us around $2000 each year for the excess electricity we provide. And our state has a renewable energy program that pays us for every megawatt our panels generate, no matter what it’s used for.

    You are lucky....in Florida , FPL actively fights residents installing solar and have insurance companies refusing to give windstorm insurance if panels are installed.....which is not an option if you have a mortgage.

    Fuck FPL

    I put up panels last year, made the cut off for the federal rebate. I filed my taxes the first week of February and I'm still waiting for my return. They asked for a few documents back in may that they already had, no one will give me an answer. Theyre holding my money hostage.

    electricity companies will just start raising prices for connecting to the grid just to make sure they aren't losing any money from you.
