RE: I am thinking about maintaining my current rent with solar power (2022.02.10)

in #life3 years ago

Good idea. I'm planning something similar, but I have to wait a little because we are purchasing the house right now, so I don't have cash to invest.

It is generally a bad idea to only heat one room in the winter. I understand that you don't have tap water, but you have to pay attention on the walls too. If you don't heat every room, the walls will experience great stress and will degrade faster. Not to mention that your doors inside the house are way worse insulators that the walls themselves, so the cold rooms will affect your heated room too.

My advice is that heat those rooms too. They don't have to be that warm, but heat them too.

This is complicated, because I cannot even afford to properly heat one room, in which I live. Especially if the temperature is very cold outside. And if there is/will be some kind of problem with the house, then that is the government's problem, because they own the house. I have not asked the government about installing solar panels, but probably they will not allow it, so I have to look for another solution. Maybe I will stick to my RV plan.

What I don't understand is how do you want to buy solar panels and every support product if you can't afford heating more than one room?

Anyway, if you still want to do this and need help in the solar project I can guide you along the way.

I currently have $1003.01 HBD in savings. If I cash this out, then I should be able to buy the mentioned products, but the government probably would not allow me to install the solar panels on the roof of the house (they own the house), so this is probably pointless. Probably I should stick to the RV plan, or look for another solution.

Oh, I see.I guess your best option is that RV. Try to buy one you can modify for better space-use. Or maybe try flipping (I don't know if its a thing for RVs).
