O I forgot to mention, there are little plastic feet things on the end of the legs
Nope, used a screen protector and plexi on my last gaming table and hated the extra layers between us and the TV, so far so good on this one but there's a strict no-rolling-on-the-screen rule in place.
I use a laptop, the HDMI pass-through goes from the TV to that port to the laptop, and I can plug a C-to-C cable into the outlet for charging.
Good question, I didn't do a great job of keeping track on this one. (All in CAD) I think about $300 for the TV, about $600 in wood, and about $200 for everything else I had to buy. My dad is an amateur wood-worker and already had lots of stuff we re-used.
Not too bad, I can easily slide it around by myself and two people can pick it up to carry it.
We will indeed be building a leaf-style over-lay eventually so it can double as a dining room table (or just big flat surface for other board games).
Uh-oh
About $8000 CAD in costs, about $700 in annual savings.
About $8000 CAD, more details in the original installation post
See original installation post for more details, but 20 to 40 years
We were doing Froinus as the end as well
Very common floorplan in my city, they built thousands of them after WW2.
2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom at the moment, originally 3 bedroom 1 bath, but I've done some renovations.
I go into more detail in my original post, but about $8000 CAD.
My original installation post goes into more details, but the panels would be about 20 - 40 years, however the microinverters I think are more like 10 - 25 years.
I don't think solar panels have been around long enough for anyone to say with certainty how long they last. I remember when I was in the industry, manufacturers would tell us to expect lifetimes of around 30 - 40 years. I'd be more concerned about the microinverters, I think they would die long before the panels would. From what I remember swapping them out one-by-one would be possible if they were similar specs, there is a standard connector, but I would just upgrade the whole system at once.
Yep, Schletter's flash-mount system from a few years ago.
Whoop's
Ah, my brain's too smooth for that, I paid in cash, so I think it's as simple as when I have saved as much as I paid for the system, which will be in 2029-2030 ish.
I'm projecting I'll break even in 2029-2030.
I've never cleaned them, rain and snow seems to handle them just fine for me.
Since I don't know WACC is, probably not :)
My original installation post goes into all the details, I paid about $8,000 CAD.
25' x 25' house, 10/12 pitch roof.
I have a 10/12 pitch roof, that might help, is your roof more shallow? I have never cleaned them, just let rain and snow handle it so far.
There's always more you can do, but for me I'm almost at the bare-minimum electrical charge year-round, so not much point for me.
Yep, you nailed it.
My original installation post goes into more detail on how Net Metering works here. Right now I have a tiered plan which costs me either 10.3 or 12.5 cents per kwh. I earn a credit for each kwh I send back to the grid which reduces my electrical bill.
I've never cleaned them myself, I let the rain and snow handle it. Not sure how I would calculate the overall carbon neutral date.
Not sure what the R value is, house was built in the 50's, so probably not great. My HVAC is a forced air gas powered furnace and central AC unit. My usage has definitely gone down in the past couple years.
