guardian: ah so you do what my grandfather does then with the grass, smart
we've got solar here, cost $0 since we got a subsidized solar solution, our electric bill last month was $7... with the AC running.

then that company went under and so the solar panels are ours not leased in exchange for excess power.

Yeah, bit of an Ancient.

Wow, that's cheap! That sucks for that company, win for you.

right? we weren't going to have to pay for them anyway but basically the deal was this.

we let them install solar panels on our house, we volunteer to help (learning how they work in the process), they get any money from any excess power we generate to pay for the cost of the equipment.

said deal is now void in that we now get the money from any excess power we generate and don't have to pay for anything

still... I wish I had another 5 grand, I'd double the surface area the panels cover
