If You Don't Get On The Solar Coaster, You Will Be Left Behind

---

As the saying goes, more is lost by indecision than wrong decision. Everyone has been watching the solar coaster tick tick tick up the track. While some hope it crashes, some are too scared to board, some are self described experts and say it isn't real or useful, and the others understand and have accepted it's overwhelmingly clean and unquestionable usefulness.

In 2017 with the myriad of incentives among other reasons to go solar, like falling ...

With SRECs, The Amount Of Money You Receive In ROI For Solar Is UNBEATABLE

---

Very few things in life that are too good to be true actually turn out real. Except for the Solar Renewable Energy Credits.

However, with the SRECs what you see is what you actually...

The Important Role Of Batteries In Solar

---

So it goes without saying that solar is a great decision both environmentally and especially financially. As the day goes on your solar arrays (panels) collect and distribute power to your home. Excess power is then sent back out to the grid. Some states which have "Net Metering" will let you receive funds or credits depending where you are for the overage you do not use.

What about at night though? No one is making lunar panels (sarcasm) yet...

Back up Batteries Are Full Of Hot Air (So Far)

---

Solar battery backups are the savior right? Not really. To be honest they are kind of a let down so far. Software issues, capacity and storage rates. This doesn't even include the elephant in the room. The ridiculous cost!

Folks, the cost of these is outrageous. When an 8K battery is 10,12,15, or 20 grand that is far too much. Now I know the pro battery folks are thinking "Shut up Wolfie" but let's be honest. I was the guy calling bullshit on...

Being Right About Solar Leasing Adds Major Value For Solar Wolf Energy

---

Good evening Solar Wolf Pack. I wanted to take a minute to humble brag about Solar Wolf timing the market and calling out the bullcrap about solar leasing.

Now I want to be clear, there is a time and place where leasing out your roof works. These times however are becoming less obvious and less advantageous. About a year and half ago I made statements on Youtube, our blog, our social media that leasing was dying. Leasing companies COULD NOT...
