You just kind of throw them up there. The key is that you have to put your body behind it

Be sure that you stick some chewed gum on the back so it sticks once it gets up there

Well, I’d either do it myself or see if I can get it done when I replace my roof.

Lol. There is a company that makes peel and stick panels.

solar was actually costing Germany a pretty penny last year. They had so much excess energy their companies had to pay people to use it

I could install the whole system in an afternoon with those.

@Salacious Swanky Cat the thing is, different localities, different costs, I guess

But a decent solar panel for a house here costs somewhere around AU $5k

Now with the cost of living here, it’s... _yeaaaaahhhhhhh_..... bit difficult to find $5k just lying around somewhere

I understand. It’s something you have to look at over a period of time for the investment. You guys still get it for cheaper than us.

Without subsidies

There are probably ways it can get cheaper (by using peel and stick panels maybe).

Maybe

But as I said in the other channel, I wouldn’t be surprised if without the scheme there would be far lesser amounts of people wanting solar panels

They’re not popular as it is even with them lol

That’s true. It’s mostly for enthusiasts for now. I don’t think every eligible rooftop will have solar. (No does it matter). I just want some because I think it’s cool.

Fair enough

I mean, I like the fact that it’s benefiting me to an extent

But only because I could afford it

It _has_ definitely lowered my electric rates since I’ve had it installed though, so, can’t complain I guess?

Like I said, prices could go down further. It’s just a matter of developing a new product.

True

But until it does..

You might also want to consider if it improves or devalues a home

My utility company does provide some payment for energy put back on the grid. Not full net energy metering, which I don’t care for.

Good point. I don’t know what it would do to resale. If I did it, I might be the first person in my town to do it.

It definitely raises value here

It would probably increase it here. Not many people south of Huntsville Alabama have rooftop.

I actually personally know one of the states top installers.

Most people think a pool increases their homes value too but it doesn't so I'd be sure about that

Just because it's uncommon doesn't make it valuable

That’s a good point.

Someone needs to explain this Sargon thing to me because I have no idea what's happening

it's just dumb drama bullshit

Well I got that much but its a loud drama with a lot of things being thrown out and taking up a lot of attention

most of what I've seen has just been misquoting or blowing shit out of proportion tbh

Hopefully somebody can make some sense of it. I'd at least like to know what I'm waving off instead of just waving it off

Some people can't help but try to take down anyone attempting to be successful.

Anyone with a TL;DR on the Warski//Tonka thing?

I just couldn't get through that Kraut Tonka stream, there's only so much cringe I can take before I break

TL;DR internet bloodsports drama is a waste of time
