Do you have solar electric? Does it live up to its reputation for saving money on the electric bill? Who did the job for you? Would you hire them again?

TIA from the novice.
I had TESLA solar install mine- it's a wonderful system with full application and 0 down time with power. I have in both of my homes this combined with Tesla vehicles in both homes to me it saves. (time and money) think of never needing an oil change or tune ups or dealership visits or to visit a gas station)

The shingles under the panels do not get exposed to UV (which breaks down the shingles) so no need to replace under. just feather into the existing.

When you get a solar system you form a contract with your electric supplier and you are locked into a buy back rate. (credits for unused or sold electric) just don't over build your system and use what you need. You won't make money selling the extra electric anyway.

Tesla has a 25 year bumper to bumper on the solar so it should outlive me.

Hope this helps!!
