hey , thanks! yes it is amazing how much we can run from solar!
That price indeed was just for panels.. The invertor can be as cheap at 100 USD or as much as $1000 depending on choice and total power demand.
I have a generator as a backup, that is plugged into a battery charger unit.. I rarely use it.. but in winter im free to use the washing machine, blenders etc
sorry to hear the government are discouraging solar! SUrely you can still just buy one and install it.. its not illegal over there is it? i guess its all money related, as always!
thanks for the comment!
