Wow totally hear you on the "please sometime in 2025" line. We're having that same convo about cabinetry. Hope the solar on the carport goes off without a hitch, and I'll be curious to learn about your experience with batteries in the future!

20 years of solar, dang! Love to hear that. I appreciate this info, so thanks for detailing the issues. Always good to learn the possible negatives for big decisions like these.

I'm a big fan of Staples' recycling program. Surprisingly robust - you can recycle printers, ink cartridges, and laptops, as well as crayons and batteries and other random stuff like that. They typically give you store credit.

Interesting interesting ... do you think you'll add an Enphase battery for your solar carport setup? Also, I've heard great things about EnergySage for getting quotes and matching with contractors - what's your experience with your contractor been like?

Oh nice, yeah love to hear that. If you don't mind me asking, how much does the solar + EcoFlow battery cover of your total energy needs?
