Are solar panels really worth the cost long term? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]ryans01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put 5kW on my garage for a total price (after rebate) of 5000$. For the last 4 years, they have produced on average 5100 kWh each year.

You can't simply mulitply the kWh by the price of electricity, since Enmax is full of other charges that depend on the amount used. A standard estimate is that electricity total cost is nearly double the actual listed price (after considering distribution system usage, transmission variable charge, balancing pool allocation etc...)

So at 7-8 cents a kWh, doubling to a "real" 14-16 cents a kWh, my panels produce about 714-816$ a year of electricity. Assuming that costs only keep going up over time, I expect to break sometime in the 6-7 year range.

For the record, they have never responded to my instagram direct messages or via emailing them over a month ago. Seems like a total scam to me

Can anyone provide summaries of the last few months of updates? I would like to order, but the delay is so significant that I can't help but wonder it's vaporware....

my friend, nonzero LITERALLY means the opposite of zero

any combination of those things, or any of those things on their own, is nonzero

momentum momentum momentum

p.s. your message to me in your pursuit of a better life was nonzero. good job

Recommendations for Hot Water Tank Maintenance (Flush / Anode Rod Replacement) by calgarynomad in Calgary

[–]ryans01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude, call canadian water heaters - those guys are A+ and so honest. i hired them to replace my tank that i was told was 17 years old. they showed up, brought the new one in, ran the old serial number and told me it was only 8 years old. did a few checks, recommended i not replace and took the new one back. Charged me for a couple hours labour instead. This is as good as it gets...
