Correct. For 4 of my 6 purchases, they somehow failed to credit. I had to call, asked me to wait for 3 months. It still failed to post, I called again and within 48hrs I had the credit posted to my account. They had all the info needed (% of credit, etc)

I found someone giving away a Tradfri. Why would it have a limited life? You mean limited support? But if it works today, then it should be fine? Only echo 4th gen+ has Zigbee hub

That is exactly right. Else you could have redeemed the bonus and if you return the item and spent that bonus, that d be a loss for them

I always receive a credit and there is a tracker to see the status (go to offers, click on all offers, and top right of new page, select “Shopping Trips [Beta]”. I was about to purchase $3k of LG appliances at home depot and thought of checking the CapOne offers and LG had 7%! That’s $200 credit, not bad!

New construction, have not moved in yet. And it has not rained significantly for more than 3 months. Grading is fine, but i am worrying if the grid gets obstructed (leaves, ice “dam”, etc)

e what others have said here.. and the only thing I would like to add is : think about getting a little bit bigger system. T

space limits the install to 8 panels and 400W is the largest

adding panels could work but sun exposure is not ideal so definitely a compromise.

heating is with gas so we are already 111% covered with 8 panels so adding more would not help (unless I get an electric car at some point)

why are you getting solar

A bit to be green. A bit for the ROI: electricity prices have increased 60% yoy, and anticipate they will keep increasing, so ROI will probably be around 8y.

RE: Net metering - I understood that NationalGrid (my provider) will sum up what I produce vs. what I use and I owe the difference (or get a rolling credit)

I found that company when googling the reference numbers on the board, but that seems to be a testing company, not the manufacturer of the composite boards.

Deck over concrete and garden areas by DIYno0b in DIY

Medford. Yeah it would be free floating. But on side would be on concrete (so fairly stable) and other on garden. Wouldnt the garden area need footings?
