How the fuck is $500,000 affordable? What reality do you live in?

The real question is if this post is complaining about cost or saying its low because it could read either way.

I'm surprised Leslie Moore hasn't scooped this one up yet. But then again, it looks like it needs a LOT of work so probably not worth the pricetag.

You have to go to Newport. It’s what sold me when I moved here.

Also my agreement though Newport Solar and the crooked electric company was if i wanted to sell my power, i couldnt store it. And every year the KWH price goes down.

So how does it work with the incentives? Do you pay all out of pocket and then get a credit? Just started looking into Solar, thanks.

I suspect a lot of it isn't hiding the plates for nefarious reasons, but rather they want to be seen as the person would

The amount of pushback on any project in Providence is absurd. Some of the opinions are justified but it’s held back this city for too long.

I purchased my system outright back in 2015. I’ll sell all my extra energy back to the grid, and fire up the Honda gasoline back up generator for the 3 times we lose power per year..

I see them on murdered out Ford explorer STs, which are most definitely driven by off duty leo. They must think it works...

Considering the paltry number of units, and their ~0% effect on average citywide housing prices, if the overriding concern is more affordable housing, the bottom line question should be: does Fane’s proposal prevent affordable housing being built?
And the answer is, no. The real estate itself is too valuable (location and eventually taxed by Providence at their high valuation/rates) to build housing that is less than market rate. It’s not Fane driving that equation (it’s us).
——-
We do all agree we want fewer unhoused people, and more affordable housing so we should be looking for solutions.
And noted here, it’s difficult to prove any particular hypothesis on housing costs with the number of variables (salaries, populations, construction costs, taxes, incomes per unit propensity, square footage expectations, economy, inflation, etc) and the inability to identify a control to measure against. But, there are some glimmers.

Batteries can double the cost.

Ok but these United Van Lines statistics have been discussed here before and ultimately determined to be useless numbers.
For Rhode Island to have magically jumped from 32nd to third since 2021 (when the trends show retiring Baby Boomers and wfh folks moving south and southwest), I doubt it.

Current incentives help to pay for batteries plus the battery allows you to use your panels during an outage.

That vault would make an awesome (and quiet) bedroom. Provided it had a opening handle on the inside, of course

I remember these types of questions from 2005 to the crash. The answer is don't buy right now as a correction is coming.

This is like the 80's version of looking for a used car. Buy the panels yourself. Do you own research and hire reputable contractors and electricians. Don't end up with an overpriced mess on your roof because somebody sold it to you.

Very much so. Would recommend this installer. Installed a 4 tonLG condenser, central air handler with 2 zones, all ductwork for $20K. Price included removal of old oil tank, boiler, and other oil infrastructure. In/out in 3 days and very nice workers/staff.
