I wish solar panels were more affordable
I wish apartment dwellers could even get solar panels
I have space on the deck of my apartment that could fit a small array but without subsidies i've calculated it will take decades to pay off.
Consider sourcing your electricity from green generators and at the same time investing in them. It’s not exactly the same, but perhaps similar enough for you.
I got a quote yesterday for panels on my roof (in the US). $43,000. Fucking ludicrous
Here in South Australia, we paid $4000 all up for our 6.6 kW solar system just a few years ago. System price was $7600 and we got $3600 back from the STC rebate thingy.
Jesus Christ we paid like 9k for our 10kw system. Woulda been 14 without subsidies/STCs
They are quite cheap in Australia, especially combined with subsidies.
