Yes. Those are solar panels. Yes, Those are installed on my roof. 34 total generating some 11KW peak during the course of a bright summer day.
I didn't do it or environmental reasons. I did it to keep as much green as possible in my wallet.
Seriously, this year has been a wild one for us SCE customers. We got hit with a huge rate increase and rate restructure that if you run much more than a 'fridge you are going to go into tier 4 at 34-freakin'-cents per kilowatt hour. July, August and September fully 2/3 of my power bill was in tier 4, and I did it without trying. Actually short of turning off the air we tested our mettle with much higher than usual temps in an effort to trim the bill but it didn't make much of a dent. Solar was the answer as we can get our juice for a bit over half of what those turds at SCE charge.
If you want details or a referral to the company I went with drop me a note.
