Wish it was doable for me. I kind of laughed at the door to door salesmen for suggesting my roof would be good for it. I have a South facing roof but there is also a 60 year fir tree next door that shades damn near all of the roof. I humored them and had one of their guys schedule an appointment for a quote. It was cheaper than I figured (only about $10k) but it would only cover about 20% of my energy usage and would take about 17 years to pay back with the assumption that SCL will be raising rates by 4% each year. I honestly do not even recall the last price hike. Yeah, it sucks that there will be a 10% jump in cost but considering how rare those hikes are compared to PSE, I’ll take it.
