    80 cents per kwh here lol. I’m fine with high prices if they aren’t just profits for the owning class, but this is absurd

      80 cents per kilowatt hour!

      You owe it to yourself to put a solar balcony on.

      You can usually get a 600 watt system that basically plugs into your wall and back feeds electricity to your house for something like $700.

      Depending on your locale and climate that could generate anywhere between 3 and 6 KW hours a day on average every day year over year.

      It would take approximately one year to pay for itself.

        I have a large solar array, which makes a huge difference, but it definitely doesn’t zero my bill. The most expensive hours are not during prime solar production, and I don’t have a solar battery setup yet

        Have any links to such a system? I’d be all for it but everything I find seems to be intentionally confusing, pushing for you to just bite the bullet and pay a contractor to do everything, including trusting they aren’t charging you out the ass.
