Start looking now. Med students and residents are already on the prowl and you should see inventory start increasing in the next few weeks.

this you?

"I listen to PragerU podcasts and videos. I learn so much while I'm stitching."

If you wonder the moment where folks start tuning out what you have to say - that's the moment.

It's addressed in the bill .

"Developers could apply for an exemption if they can demonstrate solar would be impractical, if they provide alternative forms of renewable energy generation or if they are constructing affordable housing and don’t have sufficient funding."

We should be so lucky.

Except the savings and environmental impact / yeah. Ridiculous huh?

This is the part that the vehemently anti solar by reflex folks miss. It’s saving you money from day 1 - it’s not like you are going to decide to not go solar AND then not have an electric bill.

Also even at the twenty year mark the panels will still produce at roughly 95% so it’s not like on year 20 day 1 they stop working.

Also we make so Much extra by the summer we have $100-200 in credits to work off of even before it gets super sunny so the price increase doesn’t impact negatively- our net metering credits take care of that. As I said we don’t lease. A lease says company x puts your system in for free and you pay a lower fixed amount (ie we have friends in Wakefield who leased and pay 70 a month which is still lower and they didn’t have install costs).

We’re getting a battery this month and RIE then sends us 1400 a year to have us run on battery when there’s stress on the grid on hot days.

We’ve been paid off since 2019. Before tax credit and grants I think it was 12k? Break even point was 2020 (we paid it off early) but we were already paying less per month to pay it off then we had been paying on pre solar elec. so it wasn’t costing us “more” to finance it. The money was going out to NG anyway even if we hadn’t bought a system so it’s not like skipping it was going to “save” money. And tax credit is now even higher than it was. When we installed it was only 22% now it’s 30%.

We were already paying less than our Monthly bill has averaged out to since day 1 so were already saving money. Paid off in year 4. So yes we have free electricity. Not to mention the environmental impact. Healthy tax credits for installation and a state grant as well made paying it off even easier.

Way to stray from the actual topic, sport.

They probably have a leased system which is tied to lower rates. We own ours outright and haven't had a bill since installation in 2016. So much for your reading comprehension skills and assumptions. But you do you. A leased system the company that installed them is getting most of the credit - buy your system and it's a better deal in the long run.

You’re telling that to someone who hasn’t had an electric bill in seven years bc of solar panels but do go on.

Except that part where the electric bill will be that much less once it’s done. Win win!

Ugh. I’m sorry this happened to you.

Also might be worth calling a legal services firm and chatting over your “restructuring” situation at work.

I have no idea. My fam Who has lived here on and off for their whole lives couldn’t even recall!! I find it so odd - other cities work when people park on the street. Why are we pretending we’re like Norwood or suburban NJ (only other places I’ve seen it).

It was framed as giving people an option to on street park (which had previously been banned altogether) but then they let streets opt out on a street by street basis (except for ‘artery’ streets like Hope which you still can’t park on overnight but tbh that’s also spotty enforcement). And supposed to keep landlords from blacktopping their yards / which also didn’t stop. So the old “guest parking” for 5x a month if you called the PD and have them a heads up disappeared but basically most of The east side voted no anyway and I also don’t think the city got as many people opting in for stickers as they thought (if I remember correctly) so it also wasn’t a big Money maker for the city. They should just allow on street sticker parking across the board. This opt out If you happen to live on the street ten+ years ago when they voted was BS.

Yeah the rules don’t work in PVD - not enforced unless you call between 1-5am and they’ve never revisited the ⅔ majority to have no overnight parking since it was put in place? Our entire street has turned except For two houses - should there be a revisit every several years?

Yeah….. but doesn’t basically every f*ing corporation do the same these days? This isn’t as compelling as headline claims (go local usual grain of salt.). So the company donates to GOP / as did most major airlines etc / any industry that wants to skirt regulations or supervision. That’s it? It’s more meta GOP ties than desantis specifically.

It’s definitely an opt out - if you’re in PVD letters hitting this week. Re desantis - yikes got links?

Anyone already using Greenup with RIE? I'm assuming that would mean dumping them (and the resulting tax deduction you get) or sticking with RIE...I think? RIE's billing is definitely more opaque that NG was - it longer list lists exactly how many solar credits which get (which NG used to "show their work") - it's sketchy.

Noted! Thx.

What section of hope??

I have actually and it’s why I posted that. They will pay the owner a visit and it sounds like the OP saw where they were.
