Re: Anyone have solar panels? Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Thu, 23 Mar 2017 04:30:51 In Reply to: Anyone have solar panels?, Brian, Wed, 22 Mar 2017 15:00:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The way I look at these, or for that matter any technology, is that if it were any good it would not need to be subsidized. Of course there are other negatives to solar panels as well. Most are ugly, they increase the cost and complexity of any roof repairs, shade trees may need to be cut down, and the panels can be dangerous if you have a fire since they cannot be turned off. Thanks but no thanks.
We get calls all the time from solar-energy hucksters looking to lease us solar panels so they can make money on the handouts. There was even one in the local Lowes accosting people as they walked in. This guy offered to spy on our property via satellite to determine suitability. NO THANKS! I tell them all to go pound sand. (Of course we don't have CT-level electric rates in NJ, but even if power were more expensive I would still tell these guys to get lost just on general principles.)
