RE: A Rooftop Solar Panel

in STEMGeeks2 years ago

With the recent super typhoon in the Philippines and all the massive blackout in Metro Cebu, my sister is really considering getting one of these for her home. Well, she considered even before the typhoon but unfortunately, the typhoon came.

In our house, we don't have electricity for 20 days and counting now. Glad we have two small solar powered lamps and other few solar powered gadgets (radio). This is saving us some trouble at night.

Yes. We are no stranger to weather related blackouts here in Houston. Hurricane Harvey still quite vivid in our memory. We lost power for 5 days that time.

I'd take 5 days! But really we should consider solar to power up our homes these days!

It’s still quite expensive even in US. The system is heavily subsidized by the government otherwise it will take multiple decades to break-even.

There is no such thing as subsidy from government here in PH. Sad thing. It'll be out of our own pockets if we decide to get one. 😩
