My latest conversation with a solar panel salesman

[justoffal]

LOL, if I'm around in 25 years, I'll take it as a win.

Yeah no shit

I think you could expand on what this guy did with Unistrut. I didnt watch it all but one problen he had with attaching z clips could be solved with springnuts. You can also buy swivel strut supports for reinforcement. Double strut and single strut stands are common and easy to get.

That's sad.

My summer electricity bill In WA State is always under $100 per month.
In Winter it escalates to Near $200.

I also buy Propane for the stove and fireplace.
That is $600 for a fill-up, which happens 1.5 times per year, so let's round that to $1,000 for the year.

Overall, follow the math....
Propane. $900 per year.
Electricity. $200x6, $100X6 = $1,800

so $2,700 per year is a very high estimate.
And this includes Electricity and Gas.

Wow, Winnie, you sure know how to hedge. First you claim that you pay $600 twice a year or $1200 for propane--then you round down ~18% to $1K. Then you hedge the propane another $100 dollars making your hedge 25% of actual. LMAO, and we wonder why Johnny can't read. BS

Never ever put solar panels on your roof if they are not bought and paid for. They are a title nightmare should you sell, or get a HELOC or refi.

Overall solar is too expensive when you really get down to it.

My only thought for getting one was to cover some of my electrucal bill when I retire.

However, if you grud tie in Alabama you must pay a monthly fee to the power company per kilowatt hour installed.

JO, you should really check out the trackers Vs. rooftops........~S~

My question for the rooftops as I see them in snow covered MN on asphalt shingles.

What is the cost of a roof replacement since shingles average 25 years and you have the added cost of removing the entire solar system and then remount it after the new roof?

A lot of folks mount them on roofs already 10 years old.

In the land of snow and hail it really doesn't make sense to me.

My average monthly bill is like $100 bucks.
Sure not worth it for me.

Lol.... I assume he's going through all that trouble to accommodate expansion.
I would probably just build a large weather treated plywood table and leave an inch between panels from side to side and top to bottom.

Wrong again.
Read it again moron.
1.5 times a year, which is $900 per year.

I never said twice per year you fucking idiot.

That is $600 for a fill-up, which happens 1.5 times per year

Maybe we should design a unistrut solar panel design and sell it to California

There you go.... It's only worth it if you don't tie to the grid. In my part of Massachusetts it's been made illegal to have them unless they are grid tied.

I understand that in CA the state leases your roof and installs the panels--panels are required on new construction. I can't verify that this is factual, but what I have heard. However, if it is true, what rights and responsibilities does the state have and what obligations can they force on you in your own home---think similar to HOAs. Just asking.

Didnt say its perfect. Said it could be better done with standard fittings we use already.

Which makes it a racket. So they can take your money.

Run along Winnie, everything you post is a lie.

Yikes ... Shades of forced vaccinations!

Your Advanced Age is showing.
Time for a Nap.

 

[Winco]

First you claim that you pay $600 twice a year

This is a LIE told by you.
Will you admit it?

Hell No, no way you will admit you were wrong.
Quote where I said twice a year.
You fucking LIAR.
