&gt; Solar is only really practical if it fits into the grid system, otherwise there&#x27;s no real point. The energy it gives you goes up and down, and not in sync with your own household needs.<p>Build a smaller, energy efficient house, get lots of batteries, and stop wasting so much electricity.<p>You also don&#x27;t have to go 100% solar all at once.  You can get panels and kits off of Amazon or from Home Depot and incrementally add capacity.  Actually I believe with current prices and so many individuals out there that you can hire to help do installs now, at this point you should start small and go incremental rather than getting a loan.  Otherwise you are wasting money, and just feeding into the racket that solar installers have set up.<p>Your information is outdated.
