    That’s true, it’s not super cheap to install. But you might be able to get government grants to help with that, depending on where you live.

      True, but I imagine the grants only cover a portion of it and it’d still end up costing the person(s) at least hundreds of dollars if not thousands.

      Some persons’ budgets are that tight (mine is).

        Damn if only solar was just hundreds of dollars. I’m pretty sure any sort of proper install with battery backup and automatic switching would easily be $10k+. Maybe prices have come down though.

          I was speaking out of my ass regarding the price. It was just an example. I have absolutely no idea how much it would, merely that it would be a metric fuckton of money. Lol.
