RE: 3 Reasons Why Solar ISN'T our main source of electricity (and what to do about it)
Great write up . A lot of people feel that they dont have the skill or knowledge to do but instead of learning the way to they choose to get on facebook and look at funny pictures for example. People now days have all of the knowledge quite literally in the palm of there hands but they choose to not use this knowlege . Solar has a ways to go . There is an upfront cost for sure . Im here in the U.S i installed my self for less than 10 grand and got a few grand back in Tax rebates. It was a wining situation for me . No power bill for a few hours per night researching . Then a few hours per night (after working all day )putting up a solar panel or two maybe some racking , wire etc. I put in the effort i didnt know a thing about solar i just knew from a very young age that it was what i was going to do to keep from paying a light bill when there was something out there that could prevent this from happening.
Thanks @nokiasixteth. You are leading a great example yourself!
What is the tax rebate like in the US?
30% by 12/31/2019
26% after 12/31/2019 and before 01/01/2021
22% after 12/31/2020 and before 01/01/2022
I paid exactly $7794 for my 5kw system with the 30 percent rebate $2338
$5456 total investment.
100% power use covered by solar.
Battery backup later on to come we are blessed with a very reliable power grid until we have a drunk run into a light pole. Thats what happened with the last power outage. :)
30 percent on everything that you had to do to get the solar once completed. If new construction you cant claim the construction at all . If you modified existing for the solar it can be claimed for the modification . Many different hoops .
Mine was quite simple for hooking to the grid . Very few here use solar for now . Thankfully i where i live its not ruled by people who have nothing better to do than tell others what they can do on there place no home owners association just good old fashion help the other neighbor when they need help power company just comes out changes a few things checks the stickers(several required ) then off to the races it is.
I see.
So, you receive a one-time tax rebate against the capital investment of your solar power system at the time you bought it. Is this correct?
You also mention that you do not have battery backup yet. Thus your solar power system must be connected directly to the grid. What is that process like? Was it easy or difficult?
