Just trying to figure out this whole Lemmy/Jerboa thing. Seems OK so far. Signing in and searching maybe not so intuitive...
I'm waaaay out in outer SE. Any further and I'd be in Gresham. Bought a house in October of '21, been doing homeowner things like a new roof, awning, solar panels.
Next is an upgraded electrical panel... maybe a hot tub...

So it was a NIGHTMARE getting it up and running. I started the project in April of 2022 and the panels weren't actually installed until October.
Then it failed the building inspection THREE TIMES.
They were finally turned on in March of 2023, 11 months after signing the contract. There are 3 panels facing West, 3 panels facing South, and 5 panels facing East. So far, my electric bill, even running AC, has been $13 a month... and that's just the PGE fees and taxes and such.
On average we're using around 500w at any given moment and producing 2,500w in solar power. 2,000w goes back to the grid and we get credited for that.
Damn, sounds like a pain. Sounds like it was worth it though.
In the end, I'm glad I did it, I just picked a shitty contractor. :)
