Put 9 kw of solar on my shop in 2014 did 80 percent I installed another 4K last year. Now I put more on the grid than we consume.

First install paid for Iself in 7 years the additional 4 will be less than 5 the components are less than a dollar a watt now.

Is it the total solution? No neither is putting nuke plants all over the world.
