I've lived he CA for nearly 40 years and have had no need for a lawn mower. Yes they save you money. ...isn't there some reluctance from your power company to buy back excess energy from your solar system?...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea. And which part of your solar system? Uranus? Sorry. I couldn’t resist. 1 hour ago, Foxx said: yeah but... i would be truly impressed if you had them on your electric sno-blower. yep, i have a net zero system myself. on a yearly basis, it provides all of my household electrical needs. unlike you however, i am only 4 years into the system that is expected to last 25 years minimum. with all of the rebates and incentives is was able to garner for the system and install, in two more years i will have recouped my out of pocket expenses, 100%. after that is when they payoff really kicks in. especially when you consider that it is forecast that energy prices are expected to rise 50% by the end of the next decade. What I think is really cool is when you charge your electric vehicle with your solar. ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t really buying back power from me. The system makes what I need. At the end of each calendar year I make a single payment for any excess that Ive used. I just got that bill this week.

In my state, they tax the rain, and starting next year will fine you for taking care of your lawn...and fine you for not taking care of it.

Foxx Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) here in NY, with a hybrid, grid tied setup, any excess power generated by your system that is fed back into the grid, gets dumped into the ground. the way the systems are set up, they can't really handle back feeds as it could quite possibly overload the transformers which would cause them to explode and possibly cause widespread outages.

I burn my lights 24/7, use my smoker constantly and run my car every day all day because it sounds cool!

Good, so can we now sue NYS for wasteful negligent use of taxpayer money in this suit? And oh, for using fossil fuels themselves for so many years.... Wondering aloud if all NY state owned vehicles are now electric and equipped with solar chargers since any power plants are fueled by fossil fuels.
