leaf4 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Metal roof!!! Just sayin'. I think that's the only route I would go if I were to do one. But at my house the roof was redone a year prior to buying it so I have an 8 year old roof. Seems silly to pay for a new metal one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dara Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Put the solar panels on a big pole beside the house. They are getting quite popular around here With a good battery bank and a bit of a generator you have it made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 My panels are going on my roof @ the cabin. Probably going to run my cables in conduit so the squirrels and ravens can't mess with them. Roof is metal so I don't have to worry about them messing about with that. 1,800 watts of panels will be connecting to an 80 amp charge controller and to a bank of 6 volt deep cycle batteries which then connect to a 3,500 watt switching inverter and generator. The entire system should be about $10K but will run everything I need to. Generator should only need to be run in winter due to lack of sunlight. With 20 hours of daylight in the summer it will not need to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I wouldn't exactly call it funny, it's the moronic liberal way. Okay then I'll change the L word to retarded free spending with no consequences for at least 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if anyone watched the nato stuff today but Trump took it to them about how the US is paying more than the rest of every other nato member he was hilarious. Great to see someone not tiptoe around stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easier on your roof in the long run and easy to drill a couple epoxy anchors into that rock to hold the posts likely cheaper than what you need for roof mounts as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaf4 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 The system Mike Holmes jr put in his house is what I think would help cut the hydro company out, big inverter/battery bank. Don't wanna see the bill for that one though haha everything they quote out on those shows seems more like double than what it should be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? The figure that I read was $50,000 USD for a Tesla roof with battery system. We wouldn't need the battery system in Ontario if you sell back to the grid. But even without a battery system a one year pay back doesn't sound reasonable. Edited May 26, 2017 by JohnBacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Just install some turbines and a waterfall on your property lol I seem to be one of the few not getting nailed on hydro(thankfully) We have 10 people in the house, high school age kids that don't understand why it shouldn't take an hour to shower, and our bill is still only around $120-140/month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Isn't that because its always dark then The sun is very low in the sky during those months and would mostly be blocked by trees and terrain. And it's only above the horizon for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 To the few who keep going political you are on your last round of forgiveness. It is summer time we are all busy with the great outdoors I do not have time to read all of the threads so I expect people to police themselves for the most part many have done a good job. For the few who keep pushing the political thoughts here you are going to become really unhappy when your account is Mod Qed if you have to ask if it is you then it most likely is. Enjoy the summer and if you have forgotten the rules then please reread them I prefer NOT to have to Q anyone. http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=extras§ion=boardrules Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
