I should begin my solar install Wednesday, as long as the electrician doesn't cancel on me again.
Local coop requires that I have to have the sparky pull permits, install the co-gen meter base and sign off on the meter to panel portion of the install.
I'm already providing most of my own heat for winter from wood I have collected and harvested on my land, upgrade and expanded the electrical for EV charging to include 8kw DC rapid charging and I have only lived at my current place for about 13 months.
