I've been a watcher/lurker in Will Prowse's Youtube channel the past 4-5 months. I am very grateful for the video lessons. It's helping understand that I can help save the environment and reduce my dependency on the grid. Electricity scares me, I feel limited in what a beginner can/should do. I just order Will's book from Amazon to help my understanding.
I have some solar goals I'd like to get some input on how to approach. Caveat: I live in a mobile home (built 2012) which I believe you cannot treat like a regular home when it comes to solar installation and I cannot seem to find a provider/installer whose willing to take on the project. There are regulations/permits that have to be tackled. But, it's still a dream/goal to have home power by solar. However, I do have a shed (see attached picture) that maybe I can add solar panels/shingles to?
goal #1: solar on 1500 sq.ft. home to power home and future EV (Tesla)
goal #2: solar on the shed to charge future EV
I think practically, it would probably be easier to achieve goal #2 in the next year. I know the state of California is trying to promote solar use, but mobile homes are more complicated due to their structure and governmental/permitting process.
For those curious about home power usage, I have a sense device that says we average during the summer about 725 kWh per month w/o an EV.
Thanks for any input you can offer on my journey forward.
