we converted outside dinning to solar powered lamps vs candle and direct power; the cost saving an immediate 50%.
Presently we are researching total solar for the restaurant, we will convert regardless, but are seeking the best platform; with an energy cost of 3K per month any solution to low cost is a major consideration.

I looked into getting solar panels on the roof of my house and get myself off the grid. The investment was considerable (the solar system plus reinforcing my roof to support the system as I live in the city), but would have paid itself off after 7 or 8 years. I plan on moving before that so it was a no-go. Also, remember that the cells do lose their ability to work - approximately 1% per year.

In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
