Solar

There's a lot that's complicated about solar.  But the one thing that is as simple as simple gets is that the cost of fuel for solar power is 0.  As in $0.00, with maybe even a few more 0's.  That is something that I don't think many people have really gotten their heads around.  It's just not something that we're used to.  More on this later.

For now, here's "common sense solar."  There will be a cleaner version soon.  These are the numbers that helped me to start looking at roofs in a whole new way, because they helped me to translate space into kilowatt hours.

How many square feet of roof produce how many kilowatt hours of usable electricity?
