I wanted to help save the planet, and though it has since become clear that our planet is going to purge itself of humans to save itself, I still want to help. There are millions of people owning homes in Silicon Valley and it's surrounds. They have eighty-inch TVs, electric cars, large air conditioning systems, swimming pool pumps, etc. They pay a lot of money for electricity--usually between $100 and $1000 per month depending on the size of the house and electrical loads. Average house price around here is about a million dollars. Some houses are much much more. Solar panels are popular and in style for the savvy homeowner. System costs between $15,000 and $65,000 for a house. You should see some of these houses...
