I dunno mang, I guess, to me, taking care of the Earth is more important than trying to manipulate real estate prices. But then again, you and I have different priorities. I'll have many homes in my life, but only one planet. still stuck at minimal trolling. you're really gonna try to judge/pidgeonhole me and the HOA rules & regs in my neighborhood based on the fkn copy pasta of our solar power system guidelines? The entire point of my pasta'ing it was in response to Ahokk, who corrrectly pointed out that the lack of oversight in Seff's trailerpark lil neighborhood has resulted in a monstrously fugly installation. Go back and look at the pics from last year. It's comically grotesque. Sorry if not wanting that sort of blight in our development strikes you as "manipulating real estate prices" or "befouling earth". Again, when you reach a point in life where you're going to invest a significant amount of your hard-earned money into a home for you and wiff and little Billys (and hopefully some rescue dogs), you're not going to want a to look at giant ugly solar panels and conduit on the house next door every time you peer out a window or head outside to sip lemonade on ur porch. It's almost like socialism, pal. United we stand, divided we fall. If you want to live in an every-man-for-himself wild west Bundy environment, move out to the fucking nevada desert or something. Or longmont, co. Cranked to 9. Still not maximum.

Please tell me earache that there is a HOA requirement for what vehicles can be parked on le street or even your driveway. I would assume that even a 80k Truck would be against your HOA bylaws because it is seen as ghetto and white trashy. I'm shocked you allow yourself to park le Toyota in the garage. Also, is there a bylaw that requires sideways door handles?

Imma buy the house next door to yours. Befriend all of your neighbors and become HOA President. I will then require solar, as well as tiny dickbutts to be included on all exteriors of the homes when they are painted. You want a brown or tan house? Awesome, you also get 100 brown dickbutts per square foot. ur gonna need daddy & mommy to stroke out and leave you that pile of farm money before you would be able to afford any of the homes in my neighborhood, guy. Nope. I could afford it buddy. I don't sell she et music.

Cranked to 9. Still not maximum. does that translate to "worked" or "sum1maadd"? final frage: was your house really built in 1938?? holy fkn shit, if true Worked or sum1maadd would be indicative of lazy trolling. I am attempting maximum trolling. And to answer your question, I don't remember when my house was built, but bince you've thoroughly doxxed me, I'll take your work for it. My house has some interdasting, old school features, such as a coal chute, and the interior room doors have those classic keyholes you can peep through.

Particularly if they are building a "new old house" like I did. Gawd is in le details. All bullshit aside, I suspect I'd like your house a lot, diminutive tho it may be. I like original (or good replicas of original) stuff, which is why we built what we built. Preferably bungalow, farmhouse, craftsman architecture. You must be talking really old. How many years it been since the average man was Stollllii height and required those low knobs

Eric, you accuse me of trumpeting my riches. WTF man.
Hardly. I didn't even start this thread. Someone else did.
I have honestly contributed to it as someone living it.
I thought others might benefit from my delving into solar.
Such is the life of early adapters.

Can you imagine being the guy next door and having all that shit in the neighbors yard. Talk about decreasing the value of the neighborhood. make fun of HOAs all you want, but I can tell you that if one of my neighbors attempted to do what Seff did to his house, our architectural control committee wouldn't allow it past the application stage. Here's a little something I wrote and added to our architectural guidelines last summer: SUBJECT: SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM GUIDELINES General: All solar energy systems and panels must comply with the following guidelines, except to the extent such compliance would alter or impair the operation. Notification: All plans must be preapproved by the ACC prior to installation. Homeowners should first consider all existing structures and landscaping before selecting a site for any proposed solar system. System size: To be determined by a qualified system engineer and be applicable to the existing home and its energy requirements. Prohibition: No system components may be placed in the Common Areas. They can only be placed in areas within the owners’ exclusive use and control. Preferred Location: Preferred location of solar panels is a rear-facing, roof-mounted array. Flushmounted panels (i.e. – the plane of the array is parallel to the roof) on a roof facing a street may be allowed if documentation is provided from the solar contractor indicating this is the only feasible location for a solar array. If panels are installed on a side or rear roof, the array may be tilted or raised if a variance is granted. Appearance: All components of the solar system should be integrated into the design of the home. The color of the solar system components should generally conform to the color of the roof shingles to the extent practical. Solar “shingles” that mimic the look of a composite shingle are acceptable but should match the color of the current roof shingles as much as is practical. Piping and electrical connections will be located directly under and/or within the perimeter of the panels, when possible, and placed as inconspicuously as possible when viewed from all angles. The highest point of a solar panel array will be lower than the ridge of the roof where it is attached. All painted surfaces will be kept in good repair. Submission: Pursuant to Huntersville city and Mecklenburg county codes and ordinances, the installation of all solar heating and cooling systems shall only be undertaken Applications submitted to the ACC should include the following: A diagram “drawn to scale” by the licensed contractor installing the system showing where the system will be installed; Photos of the roof area where the array will be mounted; Material to be used and/or manufacturer’s description of the system, photos and/or pictures of the system and color of the system; Where possible, provide photos of similar existing systems as examples. A variance to certain sections of these guidelines may be granted if compliance with these guidelines would significantly increase the purchase price of the solar system or significantly decrease its performance or efficiency. If a homeowner seeks a variance they must provide a minimum of two bids depicting the cost of installation of the solar systems – one bid in compliance with these guidelines and a second bid depicting the desired alternative location, unless the variance represents the only feasible installation location. The ACC may require bids or estimates from a second contractor in order to make an informed decision.

This is an excellent video. The commentators repeatedly point out things us "solar weirdos" have been advocating for years. Enjoy.
Warning: Some of the words are a bit complicated for some of you on here. Have your dictionary at the ready. Thanks.

Since installation last July, my electrical bills have been cut by 50%. My dollar for dollar tax credit was $5400, thus saving me, directly, $5400 on my taxes (state and fed combined), while zero'ing out my future elec costs and adding to the worth of my property.
Also, through net metering (where the local utility pays me for juice I provide to them (in essence, extra that I generate)), has been rebated to me at an additional 12% in a form of a check.
I initially installed a potential 4.8kW/year system (to cover a typical year's usage for me). At current rate, it'll generate 5.2kW, and yes you guessed it, the 'extra' will be rebated to me in a check since the elec company is selling my extra.
Finally, as mentioned before, I'm going to be installing an additional 8 panel, 2.4 kw pergola-type system in a few weeks. My system will face south on land not being used for much. It'll be about two feet off the ground, on cedar. I'll be posting 'real' photos' post installation.
For this project, Fed tax credit remains at 30%. Iowa state tax credit is 15% for 2016. Combined, yup, that 45% "direct cash back" to install. Would you rather put that money into Uncle Sam's hands, or into your present and future hands? Compared to 1% CDs and roller-coaster stocks, this investment to me is a no brainer.
