VIVINT Solar Update




            Techno Thrills
                             


In my last update (Aug 14) we were finally wired into BG&E's meter.  Just got our August bill which covered the period Jun 24-Aug 25; so we were only solar logged for 10 days.  Our actual electric bill was around $280 from BGE, but since we were on  BG&E's budget plan that billed  based on our projected average, with settlement at year end,  that's misleading. As you can see, our combined gas and electric use was  ½ of our neighbors (last month we were average efficient). I'm happy, especially since our air conditioner was running for most of that time.

    I called Vivint in Utah and inquired about getting connected but I was told they don't have any service here in Idaho yet. Probably won't for some time.
    Damn!

    Think of all the money you saved that can now be spent on pharmaceuticals, such as aged ethanol!

    An honest curiosity here, Roger. How does your solar array handle snow loads? Would you have to remove a load like we saw in Boston last Winter, and if so, did the installers give any guidelines to avoid damage?

    That reporting on your neighbors [with little rewarding smilyface*puke*] is more than a tad creepy...
