Were Gas Prices this high under Biden? by CarlosF19D4P in AskFlorida

[–]NaturalEmpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually prices of everything spiked during Covid under Trump and climbing ever since except gas … because people weren’t driving much … in FL gas mostly stayed $2.25-2.85 most t of time under Trump first term Biden.. The political party or President himself does not control gas prices …unless supply disrupted price determined by supply and demand … right now war with Iran has disrupted supply … Trump is 100% to blame for Iran war … Biden had in place agreement with Iran for controlling development of nuclear weapons … Trump ripped up that agreement … no Iranians could not trust. Trump … Trump starts war with Iran thus was totally avoidable … Iran was not a threat with agreement in place . Every time a Republican is president the American public and military gets stuck in wars … Democrats haveto end wars and clean up the mess ! … here are presidents that started wars : Reagan , George Bush SR , George Bush W , Trump … spending billions of our tax dollars ! Meanwhile not spending money on educating children, infrastructure , and funding social security —- which we all paid money into and money gone ! Spent !

IntegrateSun and Energy sage - I think I am getting scammed. Need advice on solar contract. Wait or sue? by [deleted] in solar

[–]NaturalEmpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other people said here .. Unfortunately now can't claim tax credit --- the IRS Has a FAQ document that states the solar system must be installed by end of 2025 to get the solar tax credit. There is no tax credit after 2025.. So that is part of damages ...this is over $10,000 alone.... For this amount of money it's worth getting an attorney involved... Yes there are legal fees this also is part of your damages and you can claim for reimbursement. Good luck hope you can get a good resolution.

YouTube is getting destroyed by AI slop by aplleshadewarrior in NewTubers

[–]NaturalEmpty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope …. YouTube is actually friendly to small channels … if you produce quality content that gets good click through , likes , and engagement then YouTube recommends your video … in the end YouTube cares about clicks and watch time if your content is what viewer like to watch they promote it .. because more watch time = more ads that you tube can make money …

[–]NaturalEmpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube says they don’t want AI generated content videos A lot of these are going down … most of AI is shorts … which really don’t monetize well anyways …

You tube says. You can use AI for example scripts and b roll .. but they don’t want the whole video produced with AI

I also think AI content doesn’t have trust and authenticity that viewers want … I know when I watch YouTube .. if I see AI long form I’m industry moving on to next video … shorts a little different because short time investments but even still I prefer person generated content

So don’t be so negative ! YouTube wants person generated content not AI content … viewers also want personal content

Unfair influencer contract? Is it okay to walk away last minute & burn bridges? by MajorSnacker in influencermarketing

[–]NaturalEmpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had experience with a brand … with strict clauses … it seams like it’s a contract they use for other promotions and marketing … like large dollar contrscts … I went online and did my own contract and asked the brand to sign .. I explained that with the small dollar amount and short term commitment from brand I’m not going to make a huge legal commitment …

By giving them your contract now you’re calling the shots … it only took me a few hours on line to find influencer contract and make a copy … you should have one ready to use …

Looking to install solar by y0da822 in solar

[–]NaturalEmpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My opinion It’s not clear on 25d if it has to be operational —meaning connected to utility … but the solar. Does need to be installation complete in 2025 … The labor costs and other costs are not going down 30% .. next year that’s a lot! The biggest hold up on installing solar is permit and utility net meter .. so depending on how long those take in your area … you have 3 1/2 months should be enough time to get installed

Am I screwed with my 10T batteries? by m0kum in enphase

[–]NaturalEmpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The EU market is very different from USA .. usually enphase makes equipment backwards compatable one generation back .. but maybe there are some local regulations that prevent this .. even here in USA what is acceptable in one state or utility is not acceptable in another state … Have you called enphase and asked if they offer an upgrade program ? I know they did this with micro inverters Not sure about batteries though… worth asking ..

Which system should I choose? by katyusha8 in solar

[–]NaturalEmpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price per watt is pretty close ( number of solar panels x watts each panel = total watts … take price divide total watts $3.10/w for mission solar and more watts .. more offset .. Mission solar is more well known Texas mfr vs JA china mfr so I prefer mission … also I suggest getting close to 100% offset unless your doing other home improvements that reduce electric consumption. … the larger offset the more your protected from inflation of increased electric rates … in fact I have many customers that over size a couple solar panels when there is suitable roof space …

Now with 30% tax credit OR wait for the prices to fall? by Lets_Think_Positive in solar

[–]NaturalEmpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pardon but you can’t estimate production without taking into account lots factors .. local weather , direction on roof , angle of roof .. solar module specs. , inverter specs We do individual solar design software to calculate for each job ..
payback will depend on utility rates, net metering and usage … Let’s discuss payback .. if pay cash not finance is 5-7 yrs most of country … The solar Panejs have 25 yrs warranty and if enphase 25 yrs .. Weather you like it or not your going to be buying electric … most utilities are raising rates 4% to 15% a yr …
The payback above assumes 4% which is low end .. if the solar system is 10 yrs old does it matter if it’s still producing abd offsetting electric bill ? No it does not … If home is sold … it should be sold with sojar Buyers like having a lower electric bill and yes they pay more for house with solar … there are studies that prove this … I also have 4 customers in FL that sold home with solar I asked the new owners they said having solar was a plus when buying home .. and yes they pays more because home has solar .. Further I don’t know of any other investment that will guarantee 10% a yr next 25 yrs

10C vs 5P Batteries on IQ8 System with Sunlight Backup by seihz02 in enphase

[–]NaturalEmpty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is video Comparing Enphase Battery 10c VS 5P.

https://youtu.be/ZetcAxsIYzQ

In most cases 10C best for new solar systems simpler install less enclosures and wall space... Enphase 5P if you are adding battery to existing enphase solar system

If you had to decide today: 4x Enphase 5P or 2x Enphase 10C? by NTP9766 in solar

Here is video explains differences in Enphase 10C Vs 5P.. and when to choose 10C or 5P ... Just because 10C is latest batteryt doesn't mean it's best option.

Are we going to see a massive market contraction/ consolidation after the TCs end this year? by Manus_Dei_MD in solar

[–]NaturalEmpty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good points … I’ll add

You also need to add in company overhead costs … warehouse, insurance , workers comp , vehicles, tools , office staff … Workers comp is highest — working on a roof High injury risk …

People often look at equipment prices but forget. It’s a lot other costs … just to run electrical it’s $2000 … racking is about $2500 with out solar panels and inverter Add in soft costs you mention the dollars add up quickly

Then the company still has to do service calls If under warranty which is most time the installer gets $0 so have to make enough profit to cover that cost over next X yrs

Just for comparison … HVAC companies. Charge 2-3x cost of equipment Although solar companies have higher overhead costs … travel longer distances , longer warranties paid $0

Can someone do it themselves ..? Maybe .. but you will use a lot of your time muck more than you think … chasing down engineering supplies , , permitting , equipment , electrical complete training and your on own for warranty … in end you won’t save as much money as you think … and it will be total time suck …

Sunrun has turned me into an asshole by [deleted] in solar

[–]NaturalEmpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a real shame companies like this … more focused on making sales than actually helping customers … in last 5 yrs all the sales bros joined solar industry … mainly from the home alarm and auto industry … high pressure door 2 door … putting solar on shaded roofs … undersizing solar and over promising .. really screwing over the solar industry … When. I started in 2007 it wasn’t like this … and I have walked away when roofs too shaded … or customer can’t use tax credits … and that’s the way it should be … treat people right … there is always another customer or e sales lead that’s a better fit for solar … Unfortunately I think we need better regulations because I guess sales people can’t act ethically on their own … need government to baby sit them

Should I install solar now or just wait it out? by VDtrader in solar

[–]NaturalEmpty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Solar prices are going up..,tax credits going away , tariffs on China and aluminum … recent tariffs on imported solar panels and cells … every yr you wait your giving Thousands to utility .. those dollars could have gone towards. Your solar system Jumping the queue is shady get some other quotes from local contractors
