I had to point out that without electricity gas station pumps don't work either. Thankfully we can charge our cars via our rooftop solar panels, but I didn't mention that........ We have recharging stations all over town and I never see them being used. How much does it cost?...or is it free? When I am travelling I use the supercharger locations, costs about $6 for a 300 mile range. My charging at home is free. You get FREE domestic power? Even if you have a domestic solar system you would have related capital costs. Roof solar panels aren't cheap but they pay for themselves in the long run. Our summer utility bills went from $400 down to $65 per month. And since we don't use gas stations any more there is a saving there as well. |

It's a capital cost that also increases the value of the property...conceivably you'd get it back with the sale of the house. My neighbor's an electrical engineer who had Solar City install panels years ago and he loves them. I live like a hermit and during the winter, my bills average $30/month. * |

We get lots of power cuts here - at the most random times, usually because some new neighborhood needs the power more - but our battery backup keeps the house running until the power is restored. The A/C is out, but it runs the lights, fridge, microwave and computers. And coffee maker. Quite essential, that. |

The A/C is out, but it runs the lights, fridge, microwave and computers. And coffee maker. Quite essential, that. For coffee, I just used the gas stove, boiled water and made it the old fashioned way. My sister wants an A/C generator and I saw this company advertising locally wwww.installgenerac.com...sent her the link. Normally when the power goes out here, I just connect the AC battery to my phone system and then listen to the radio...most of the disruptions are Internet outage or TV (Comcast)...I'll have household power but since I'm so computer/Internet centric an Internet outage really hurts. * |
