Good morning (or whatever time of day you are experiencing)
My wife and I thirst for seeing our excessively spinning meter slow down or run backwards.
Occasionally along comes an email promising some secret plan for installing solar....just buy their book.---and save tens of thousands that professional installers will charge you. (I have become chary of any marketing that scrolls WAY down the page touting a product but not revealing the price upfront.)
In the end, I'd just like an answer to something like:
Is is possible, DIY, to go up on my barn roof (plenty large, 45 deg angle, facing south) and mount however many panels, wire them up and run a line downstairs to the service panel, with whatever interface the local power company needs to measure and use whatever I generate? Can I figure out what it will cost? Is it straightforward or is any of it tricky to do right and get it working?
I'd like to just start from there.
