Reply to comment by shaggyboy77 in Is Solar Energy for Home Really Worth it in the US: Expert Answers by daleelsayarat-cars
Can confirm $10k cost for 7.7kW system in AZ. Installed myself and grid tied system has 3 year payback after tax refund. I am carbon neutral and sun shines during day when Heat Pump AC is needed. Wish I had installed when they still had net metering. Now they pay for my power at a lower rate than I pay at night.

Me and my family were there for the launch! Pretty impressive when the noise hit! Cool flight as well!!

Reply to TIL That There's a Bible Belt In The Netherlands by iamasinglepotassium
I grew up in the Christian Reformed Church in Michigan and never knew this about this in the Netherlands. CRC had remained a pretty conservative organization. Lots of cities in Michigan around Holland Michigan have Netherland names, like Zeeland!!
