The Origin Story
I spent the last few years learning about solar and storage for fun. My kids think I am nuts. Friends run when I mention power bills.
A few years ago, I got a quote to put solar on my house. $50,000. And I needed a new roof. I told the guy that does not pencil out. He said you do it because it makes you feel good. I said no, you do it because it pencils out.
So I rabbit-holed. Got a pallet of panels shipped to my driveway. Did everything 100% myself - hoisting panels, trenching, wiring, programming. It is so freaking easy.
The Results
With 8 x 400W panels, I generated 78% of my home energy in August. A $43 power bill with carbon offsets.
Why I Do This
I do not want to start a business. I do not want to charge anyone. I just want to spread the joy of garage solar and help folks who want to dive in.
