2 years ago I installed 30 500watt panels on my roof. It's been amazing!

I'm in Canada, so I can't be off grid at all, but during the summer I generate way more than I use and in the winter I take essentially what I over produced in the summer, so I'm net zero usage from the grid in a year.

All my heat is electric and I drive an electric car.

My break even is 18 years, so it's definitely not for everyone, but I can see a future where electricity is almost free and we burn zero fossil fuels. I doubt I'll be alive for this, but if we all don't do this, no one else will be alive either
