TLDR: please don’t just put solar on your roof, we’re past those days, please either get an EV you can charge during the day or battery

    I would get a batter system before solar anyway. My electricity has hourly rates and in addition to those savings being able to function in a power outage is a rather nice quality of life.

      @HubertManne @Eyekaytee It’s sticking in my mind that’s there extra “stuff” that needs to happen for a battery to supply power to the house if the mains feed drops. But I can’t remember what the man said. I will have to read up on it again and consider if it’s worth it - I’m not sure I expect many outages (metro area, with newly-upgraded/buried power lines). And i’d just go to the park if there was one.
