Panels don't run things
What is your response to people who ask you "what will your solar panels run?" (run, as in power, operate)

Same here ,it’s surprising how often this happen and how many people do not understand solar at all.
You should hear what solar homeowners have to experience. Paying nothing for electricity doesn't seem like a good thing to 90% of the nation.
Stating that Solar Homeowners pay nothing is like stating your Tesla cost NOTHING also. People forget you had to spend 75k and up for the Tesla and up to 50k for a fully functional Home Solar system. Lets take 25k for a home solar system. My electric bill for my 3400 sq foot house(VERY energy efficient) runs $1500 per year. How many years would it take to recoup my 25k COST????? And what happens if I MOVE? Doug
