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 have had it since 2019 and love it. I wish I had done it years earlier. I have never had a zero bill because SECO is a co-op and customers pay $1 a day to be a member but I have had bills less than $10. Solar companies will tell you payback period is 8 to 10 years but it is really 12 to 13 years. Another problem is that the Florida legislature has a bill that is back by electric companies to not pay solar customers as much for what they produce, don't use and goes back into the grid. Currently SECO charges customers about $.11 a kwh and pays solar customers a little less than $.08 a kwh. Florida politics is backing big utilities. SAD!
