Just launch a mortar shell into one of their natural gas power generation facilities.

not following you OP
Did you pay for the panels?

you should have known about winters and night time and cloudy days before you bought the panels
did you expect the company to store your summer surplus in expensive lithium batteries until you needed it?

>>24509529
They split up the year into parts, so it's not 100% summer vs winter.

At the point where they made the split, there are no more takesies-backsies.

So very simplified:

winter: 2 kwh in the red
summer: 3 kwh in the green

That means you're -1 kwh for the year right?
Well that -1 kwh is lost, they just "round it off" to zero.

Now imagine if they split up the year further, perfectly between winter and summer.
Your 2 kwh in the red remains due, and your 3 kwh in the green is rounded off to zero.
This is what they did.

>>24509592
That's not what's happening.

They cut the year into parts, so one part can't offset the other part.

>>24509595
Sorry dawg you lost me at "They"

>>24510129
The second to last word of my post?

>>24510165
Yes dawg. Do you want to call me and explain/talk about it? Might be easier.

>>24508973
Yeah net metering is yet another Jewish scam. Just leave America or KYS

Allow me to explain

You don't
Know how to read
A fucking contract

>>24510220
Sure I do.
It says in massive letters at the top of the contract "INVOICE FOR PERIOD BETWEEN NOVEMBER 1 2019 AND NOVEMBER 1 2020".

Them splitting that shit up is a scam.

this is a clear cut case of judaism

>>24510273
Have you tried calling them? I guess not? As you don't want to call me? Well fair enough if you don't want to speak to me, I don't blame you, but at least call them and shout at the first person you speak to.

>>install solar panels
Spotted your problem OP, this shit is on you. Solar for a house is a fucking meme unless you live in Phoenix, AZ. If you want to do it for the meme, just wait until the roof needs to be replaced and replace it with solar roof tiles from Tesla, at least they last longer than a normal roof, the electricity they generate is just a bonus.

>>24509008
>>24509083
Excellent posts gentlemen, the only good posts in this shitty thread.

>>24508973
Fell for the solar meme, just wait for free(aether) energy devices.

You got meme'd. Solar had always been a massive scam. It's not better for the environment because of the manufacturing processes and it's way more expensive. The entire green energy movement of being pushed by green energy companies to sell you.

>>24510308
I did call them, they told me to file a complaint.

I'm just making the most of the fiscal system as it is. Don't hate the playa, my homies.

>>24510446
No you're an idiot who got scammed by an OBVIOUS scam. Saving 3% on your energy bill (which is subsidized to hell and back anyway) to pay off installation over 20 years is fucking retarded when crypto is making triple digit gains every year and even STOCKS are gaining 20-50% each year. Let this be a lesson to you going forward.

Use your panels to generate power for crypto mining bruh

>>24510573
bruh, the panels on my roof are enough to completely nullify my usual electric bill.

I was paying about 7k in electricity alone, and with these panels I'll be paying exactly 0 four years from now, and everything will have paid for itself in about 8 years, and after that it's 100% free electricity for at the absolute very least 10 more years.

>>24510345
What a retarded fucking board this is. I should go back to /ck/. It's much harder to be a retard about cooking

>>24510796
>and everything will have paid for itself in about 8 years
That's a 9% annual return on investment. That's pathetic compared to even stock gains, let alone crypto gains. Bad use of your money. Look, this is not debatable, you're an idiot and solar panels are an obvious scam. If you wanted to save money on electricity you'd have been much better off just getting your insulation fixed and installing double pane windows.

>Bad use of your money.
Jake's on Hugh; it's not my money, it's a loan.

>That's a 9% annual return on investment.
Eeeeeasy moneyyyyy

>>24511391
Faggot he is also benefiting his offspring and the planet in general. Add that to your 9% calculation

>>24510796
Wanna guess how long the chink made shit you got scammed into paying 3x what a privately sourced and direct contractor install would cost, is going to last?

>>24511534
The panels are LG, guaranteed for 20 years.
I know plenty of business owners who've had panels for longer, and they were obviously less sophisticated to begin with.

'green' energy is a scam for consumers?! woah??!

>>24511713
The fact that the electricity cabal is trying to pull every trick in the book to still make a buck means it really does hurt them.

>>24509592
>did you expect the company to store your summer surplus in expensive lithium batteries until you needed it?
yeah that's the only way the electric company could have offset his winter costs, storing his summer surplus. There's nothing that an ELECTRIC COMPANY that SELLS ELECTRICITY could do with his summer ELECTRICITY SURPLUS other than just store it.

??
and in case you accuse me of misreading:
>... compared to even stock gains, let alone crypto gains.
energy generated by stock + crypto: 0kWh.
