I can tell you it's beautiful!

Going to need some hard proof of that ;Watching;Watching;Watching

I love how people keep making futile attempts to get pictures of the tank out of the stubborn red head! :P

In fact my guess is that it is sold and there is a new still being set up! ;)

I'm not showing anything until she's done. I can tell you it's beautiful!

Sounds like A burlesque dancer. :p

I was in a house with the Tesla back up batteries...might help you out next time.

Interesting point. I think anyone with solar should have a form of battery arrays in their garage if they can get net positive on generation. It really is the smart thing to do. Store it for use after hours when you are not generating instead of selling it back to the grid.

Having said that and owning solar I do not. I've been waiting for other options besides Tesla which are now starting to come online more affordable. Once that is in then add some more panels, review power sappers in the house, and be a bit more happy. Currently I can see during peak generation that we are not using all that we gen yet during the evening we consume more :(

Solar is nice - but home users need better or higher efficient panels and storage to make it a win for us. Getting there though.

Likely worth more than my house though. :)

I think when they first hit the market they ran close to 15k. They had a lot of issues at start which Tesla later went back and upgraded all first time buyers. It was a pretty sweet deal actually because they also got a increase in storage capacity. But yes, they are pricy.

Here is the deal because the media loves electric cars. You charge at home or work or school or somewhere. Power is still being mostly generated by not so green processes. Especially most of us average Joe home owners. And even if we have solar, and I do for example, I do not produce enough positive energy to charge my electric vehicle....

Wheel goes around and around and around. It isn't paradise but what we have I guess.

I also figure the solar panels would have to be roof mounted in my application. Lake Charles had 132mph winds. Not sure whose yard my solar panels would have ended up in. :-)

Lol - that is very true. And yes more often than not the panels are roof mounted. It depends on the numbers, design, best light source, etc. Trees, buildings, and other things all factor in. I do not deal with Solar only my limited understanding after owning them.

You have another check box that I do not and that is Mother Nature. Well not all is golden bombs of light and love out our way with the fires and all in California but yes. Maybe panels on the roof isn't wise :)

Actually that raises a rather interesting question. How does one install solar in areas such as yours? Especially if the solar generation window is high what does one do?

No no no. I promise!

Well I got something unexpected. Didn’t think these were going to be my first addition to the tank but I’ve always wanted them and they just got out of quarantine and I got h**l of a deal on them! Pics soon!

 

[brett_schn]

You're right, It is definitely futile but I figured I’d give it one last shot

 

[Fin]

Keeping an eye on power outage map and starting to notice small areas of power trickling into the city. Fingers crossed. I still can’t receive it because the service line was ripped away from my house. I have an electrician on that. I am so ready to be back in my house. Removing the ceiling in my living room on Monday - hopefully.

 

[fishguy242]

hi @Fin was there water damage to your belongings ,floors ,or just in ceilings?

 

[Fin]

Ceiling and damp carpet in the living room. Insurance is replacing the carpet. My dog had chewed a hole in it and it needed to be replaced anyway. :-)
