The reason i ask is i have an angled roof and the back side literally gets full sun from it coming up in the morning until it sets in the afternoon. Surely i can use this to my advantage with some solar panels right? I'm in Florida so could pretty much be a year round source of power. My house is big and the monthly utility bill especially during the summer gets pretty high. Is this worth pursuing ? Figured id start here with the OT to get some feedback from others that may have or own a home with solar panels.

Do you have wind too? Maybe add wind turbines too and let everyone know how trashy you are.

Just pay the power company like a real American. Why do so many of yall want to see small businesses fail

I really do not see or have seen reports that is financially feasible over a long period of time.

I have a ground mount in west Texas and getting some beta test AC modules later this year for the Houston house.

What direction does your roof face?

No idea but I don't see many houses with solar panels so I'm thinking if it were a net gain they'd be fairly common by now.
