Could build an electrolysis tank and pull the rust off old iron skillets,. Or pull the gold plating off cheap jewelry then reverse the tank polarity and gold plate your wrenches!

That is a possibility. Maybe they just have not had enough solar installs to effect them in the area. They are in Georgia, and I have researched Tennessee laws They support about anything you want off grid except septic, that must be permitted and inspected. Nothing else tho.

If I can't have the meter pulled, they can shut it off and wait a looooooong time for their payment.......

Interesting thoughts guys thank you. I had a feeling this utility was not the only one using the phrase. I've been bitten by corporate contracts in the past and don't take their wording lightly. It seems a good lead in to keeping people locked into their system to me. Truth be told the...

I just adore the people as much as the land. The old Gent we bought the property from asked me to call him after the closing. We have had to lengthy conversations and he has been texting me a list of everyone he can think of that he had any dealings with that may be able to assist us in our...

That is entirely possible. It sparked my curiosity as well as my defiance.

So we will be keeping the power only at the campsite until we have our systems in place then calling them to come get their meter. I am very curious though if this sort of language will become the norm moving forward as net metering rules are pulled back effectively rendering grid tie...

Yep. Beautiful country

Sorry for the delay guys, my day got crazy..... Neither the contract or their website has anything regarding solar. I have perused nearly every single page on their site and have not found the word solar anywhere. I'm in Iowa at the moment, however moving to south Tennessee with a PoCo based...

I've been planning our off grid system from some months now, then this week we closed on our 13 acre slice of paradise. The previous owner had power supplied to a campsite just off the road by the PoCo, and as part of the closing we had to document we removed the power from their name and put it...

It really is astounding. I ran a large maintenance shop for years, once in a while apiece of machinery would fail in some weird way - me and my right hand man would be staring at each other saying "Ain't never seen that before, now what!?" Sure enough, you tube would have a video on it. Except...

Very interesting thank you for sharing

I remember when my "tech" buddy actually pulled me aside to show me all the cool stuff to learn when you tube first took off. I was shocked! I thought every man knew what I did. Dad had me handing him wrenches and parts at 8, swinging a hammer at 10 and swinging from trusses by 12. if it needed...

Lots of good points brought up here. For me, the world is going nutz, the more stability I can offer my wife and I the happier we both are. ROI doesn't really matter as much as peace of mind.

@robbob2112 I can not disagree, and it is certainly worth extended research in my book. Just glancing at the link, that extinguisher is not co2 based anyway. It uses Clean agent chemical: FK-5-1-12 Which is a cooling agent. Better some clean up than total loss though. I now have a new topic of...
