Sure. Our plan is ... replace roof (needed to do anyway) with solar shingles. Install a solar battery. Buy an electric cars (after the roof work).
Our 25 year old roof needs to be replaced. An entirely new solar shingle (the texture is like slate tile) roof is similar in cost to a new roof plus standard solar panels.
A solar battery is not cheap, $11-15,000. Tesla Powerwall 2 or Panasonic EverVolt are two industry leaders. This will go in the garage (out of sight).
Buy an electric car and charge it at home. We were going to buy the car first but the roof needs to done first.
What the above will do is allow us to store solar energy as electrical power to charge the electric care at off-peak hours, when rates are cheapest, and to power higher energy using home equipment (cooling) drawing from the battery to avoid the highest electric rates.
You can program the hours an electric car is allowed to charge, and you can program a solar battery when it can be used to provide power to the home. This is this peak load shaving (transfer grid use from high daytime rates to lower nighttime rates). A solar battery of ~14 kWh will provide enough electricity to provide 420 kWh per month (14 kWh x 30 days). This will offsets more than 100% of our electricity for most months of the year. We use close to 550 kWh per month BUT the solar will directly power the house and the battery will provide power when the solar cannot.
The bottom line is: What we are doing makes sense if you need to replace your roof, and you have an electricity billing rate based on time of use (daytime peak use rate of about 2 times nighttime rate).

Trump actually looks like this ... beware, he is not wearing his orange makeup, or it has worn off.

I don't need to talk about it, but I have a plug in hybrid that runs full electric around town with no range anxiety on longer trips. I don't recall ever forgetting to plug it in.
Considered full EVs, but there wasn't anything readily available in the time frame I needed and infrastructure in the non-urban northeast isn't there yet. I expect the next car to be electric and probably not that many years off.

Interesting note: Trump was about to lose access to the really expensive (and limited supply of) aborted fetus COVID cocktail (fountain of youth) that he was guzzling for free before his regime ended.
Guys, I swear that wasn't me. I only post under Fat hurts.
But "last out", congratulations. Sounds like you are getting an awesome system.

Is he wearing a women’s watch?
Vanity
Heavy make-up
Constantly whines and gossips
Won't let sh** go
Always has to get the last word
Has a serious thing for strong powerful male authority figures
Likes delicate jewelry
I think he really wants to be a trans-woman!
Do you all still not realize both "president" threads picked up dramatically only after Trump's speech?
Face it, you're not interested in politics, you're only interested in Trump. You love him, even if you claim to hate him.
ENJOY YOUR LOSS 2,600 ???

Yes, either he thinks it makes his wrists and hands looks bigger or you know, he just likes to dress up. He’s a disgusting thing, inside and out.
