  • Not everyone can afford the installation costs.

    • Who h is why social programs to aid cover the costs of the installs would be a good thing but given that the state they live in is resorting to rolling blackouts instead of investing in infrastructure, that doesn't seem like it'll happen.

    • That's true, it's not super cheap to install. But you might be able to get government grants to help with that, depending on where you live.

      • True, but I imagine the grants only cover a portion of it and it'd still end up costing the person(s) at least hundreds of dollars if not thousands.

        Some persons' budgets are that tight (mine is).

        • Damn if only solar was just hundreds of dollars. I'm pretty sure any sort of proper install with battery backup and automatic switching would easily be $10k+. Maybe prices have come down though.

          • I was speaking out of my ass regarding the price. It was just an example. I have absolutely no idea how much it would, merely that it would be a metric fuckton of money. Lol.
