I am satisfied with my solar energy system that was installed September 2023. So far I have only paid for connection charges and a grid fee which all Columbia MO residents pay. The winter and spring have had an unusual number of cloudy days so the data this year is atypical. However, I have built up net metering credits for the anticipated heavy useage months over the summer when air conditioning use picks up. Here is hoping that the summer will be normal and not unusually hot.

I am impressed by the analysis I recently looked at. The only flaw I saw was a lack of cradle to grave carbon emissions from renewable energy sources. They basically assume little or no emissions from renewable energy. In my previous blog post I argued on a qualitative basis that as more renewable energy is used for mining, processing, manufacturing and transportation, the carbon footprint of electrical vehicles will significantly drop.
