We have had solar panels for a few months now, and I still get joy from the idea that we are making use of energy which would otherwise just being going to waste. As the price and complexity of PV systems (e.g. via balcony solar) decreases, hopefully this will be available to more and more people. It is quite wonderful to me that, so far today, everything I have done has been powered by sunlight, with enough spare to pop some into our battery.

  • More panels would be amazing. It is a shame that we could fit so few on our roof. As it stands, we are nowhere close to being able to meet our own home/office usage *and* charge our car. And I imagine that, in the winter, we may well have days when we struggle to cover even our own home/office use entirely. But still. Amazing stuff.
