Am I reading this right? It appears that the time has come and gone to submit a comment, or is that just when the comments are scheduled to begin to be taken?

Sounds like the energy companies in Texas too. With what seems to be everyone moving to Texas these days, our electric grid is stressed to the max. Investments by the electric company in wind and solar haven't paid off from a consumer cost savings perspective.
Rates keep going up, bills keep going up and the grid is no more reliable than it was 4 years ago |

I don't live up there but Entergy does the same shit down here. I wouldn't mind a short term increase if it meant that they would bury the lines so that mother nature would not continue to have these issues.

LZ, If you’re okay with it can you also tell me if your panels are in the roof on the ground, susceptible to weather, insurance cost etc.
Just ballpark stuff. |

For what it's worth, I got my panels from Blue Raven Solar 1.5 years ago. Cost was about $22k for a 5.67 kW system, and then I got 30% of that back from the feds.
My biggest piece of advice is to ask for a cash price if there's any chance you can swing it. Their financing "rates" were fine, but they quoted me $30k to do it (and their default assumption is that you want to finance it). (And on the off chance someone here decides to contact Blue Raven, let me know. They have a referral program that will save you like $500 and give me $500 as well.) |

Mine are on the roof. They're rated to withstand up to baseball-sized hail. I contacted my broker about additional insurance, and he told me that they're covered with no adjustment needed to our policy (but this is State Farm, so no promises all insurers are the same).

My utilities are through the roof. According to C.U. I'm using more of everything this year. My ass! I think everyone in my area are being scammed.

Keep in mind your roof should be relatively new because any roof work you have done a few years after the solar panels are on would cost a small fortune to replace the shingles? That's another issue, how many holes are they going to drill into a person's roof to hold them on. And aren't more holes being drilled into your roof's shingles not a good thing?
