Decentralizing energy generation is smart on many levels...like national security for instance.

I remortgaged my home back in 2019. Needed a new roof and decided to install solar panels with battery back-up. I dump 500;000 watts of energy onto the grid -monthly. For that privilege, I pay Central Maine Power $35.00/mo.

Anyways, the total cost was around $30K, After tax credits, it cost me around $20K. I probably won't live to see the payback, but I'm guessing the fact that I can generate my own power and have a well with 50 acres....it will benefit my kids.
