Here Comes the Sun (doo bee doo bee)

Subtitled: Going Solar

Coming this Tuesday, December 17, 2019, we will have solar panels installed on our roof.  We are staying on grid for now and doing the buy-back option. Reliant/Oncor have a good buy-back program...we've been told.  We'll see how everything works.  Let's face it, it's not what we're used to and will take some adjustment.  We know some folks in town who have them from another company, but they've promised to help us with the rough bits we'll come to.

I'm going to post pictures, videos, Facebook streaming videos,  and narratives as we get them in and as we adjust to the panels.  Some things should stay exactly the same on our part.  Some things will change.  They're not a miracle, just another energy source.

For those of you who don't know, we intended to use solar from the beginning.  We're 90% + electrical for that reason.  In the future, as storage systems improve in quality and price we'll think about adding that to our system, but for now it's just a no go.  Anyway, I'll keep you posted.  Not every day, of course, but more frequently than usual at first.  After a while it will only be when there is an issue or a victory.

Thanks for reading.  I'll definitely have stuff on Tuesday.
