In 1977 we bought our first home. It had solar at the time. It only heated our water and stored it in a large tank in the attic. It was also smarter than any home we have had since because it was passive solar. we installed solar this year. It can provide all electrical needs for our home in the day and send some to the grid so we get some credits for the energy we use at night. The city will not allow us to exceed our previous years bill in solar energy. We could have installed two more panels, but then the city would owe us money at the end of the year (based on what we used last year).
Nice images and story. Seems a shame that you could produce more energy, but can't. :-( I note someone in the top image on crutches. There's clearly a story there too.
@jamibann Don’t I wish I knew it. I have no idea why my mother (who did not live nearby) and my old college boyfriend (who we are both still friends with) are there at the same time. I have no idea why Bruce was on crutches or my my hubby is working on the garden when we have two visitors. There must be a number of stories there.
