    These systems dont keep the lights on when the grid is down. That may not be what you’re insinuating, but it is a common misconception.

      They offload some of your electrical usage to a free source to lower your bill and help the environment. Its not a replacement for grid electricity. Its a supplement. Since it seems like whoever you were replying to thought these were supposed to power your whole house.

      I’m not insinuating anything. I’m suggesting they cost a lot and the power they give is not worth the investment. If they were significantly lower and cost or significantly higher in power, regardless of being able to fully power your home, then they might be a better solution.

      But you were commenting on my comment of economic collapse which is laughing at the person who suggested that nothing’s wrong. So, they are eithernot paying attention to anything or dumb as fuck

        They pay for themselves in two years or less. Legal 800 W feed-in limited still allow for 2 kWp total module power and increasingly there are buffer batteries.
