We would never consider buying a home with solar panels, especially in The Villages since we are in a co-op (at least in Sumter county) & electricity cost is reasonable. |

I just sent a text to Greta Thunberg. She told me not to waste my money. She also mentioned the aesthetics of solar panels are horrible too.

Do I have to put on a new roof before installing the panels? My roof is 12 years old.

To me, it wouldn't make sense to install solar panels on any roof, but especially on a 12 year old roof that will need to be replaced in a few years.

I'll stick with the normal way of generating electricity nuclear and natural gas it's been around a long time and it works I have my doubts on climate change

At over 10 years ROI, you may not be able to have financial gain from your investment .. you may die ..and the panels and structure damage after 10 years, may not be of benefit to a prospective buyer. More cash incentive is necessary .. ROI around 3-4 years and it’s worth considering …

I thought that was obvious... One home wont make a difference, just like one car won't make a difference...

Solar
I added solar to our home and later found out that Leesburg electric pays me .03 cent Per KWH. When I'm using their electric, I'm paying .09 per KWH. They sell my excess electricity for .09 cents and pay me .03 cents. They thanked me for doing the solar and said they need more dumb people like me to install solar.

Forget the political global warming BS for a minute, I have a few technical questions.
If we were to have a hurricane, would solar panels on my roof mean I don't need a generator? Where do I put all those batteries? Related question... an emergency generator legally requires an automatic transfer switch to attach a generator to a house, to prevent it from back-feeding into the grid, and possibly electrocuting some poor power company lineman working to restore power. So howcome solar panels are allowed to back-feed the grid all the time? Does power derived from the sun somehow not electrocute power company linemen the same way fossil fuel power does? Are solar panels impervious to hail storms? They look like they're made of glass. Will my insurance pay to replace glass gadgets installed on my roof? Related question... How long do they last? Do they last longer than the 15 year payback period? If they only last 15 years, will my solar power company help me scam my insurance company into replacing them, like all those Florida roofers who have made it impossible to insure a 10 year old roof in Florida? Or do they just scam the government again for part of it, and I get stuck with another 15 year payback? Do they have to be "upgraded" every three years, like all my other electronic gadgets? Is that included in the 15 year payback? What if my roof needs to be replaced before the solar panels? How much does it cost to remove and reinstall the solar panels when I replace my roof? Do I need to find both a solar panel scammer and a roof scammer every 15 years, or in the future will it be possible to do it all with just one scammer? Every time I think about solar, it just sounds like more trouble than it's worth! What am I missing? |

It just cost my neighbor $5600 to remove and replace his panels so they could replace roof

The ROI for solar panels in Florida isn’t there. All you’re doing is trading one bill for another. Instead of paying your power company for electricity, you’re paying for your solar panels.
Solar panels effectiveness degrade a small percentage every year. By the time you pay off your panels they’ll end up being 70% effective. Then you’ll need a new roof and just wait till you see what it coats to remove all the panels and reinstall them. It doesn’t make sense to go solar, even is sunny Florida. |
