The orientation of my house sucks and our neighborhood has many old growth trees. I wish I could be that asshole, but after running the numbers I don't even break even over the expected lifespan of the panels. :(
Stick a windmill up there, that aughta do it!
If that ain't enough, get a nuclear plant installed in your backyard 😤💯
Tiny lot + aforementioned old growth trees means that's also not viable. :( My "best" option (which I have) is a nat gas backup generator for when the grid goes down. It's expensive, and very much NOT a clean energy source, but it's what I have to work with. I work 100% from home and need full-time power.
