7. Makes more sense

But 2 EV's is 2 more than I have. Don't drive much lately so that doesn't look to change anytime soon.

Had a 4kW system installed last year. Look to add to it at some point. Sunny days always brings a smile but more so these days.

Thought about going electric when my 20 yr old gas furnace kicks the bucket but probably doesn't make sense with gas as cheap as it is, although I expect that will not always be the case. Not enough room for geothermal.

Local utility wasn't satisfied with a monthly service charge on gas and electric - they went to a daily rate - $.45 for electric and $.65 for gas. So I pay just over $400 a year for service. Back in 2008 the charge was $5 and $8.50 - talk about inflation!
