@scottalanmiller Can you get Gigabit where you are at? Verizon is offering it here but I have to cancel my current setup and sign up as a new user (in my case using my wife's name)
No, we can get half that though, I think.

Verizon has a track record of screwing current customers. I left their wireless when they instituted the "current customer" tax.

I'm at 200 and I think that's the fastest I can get.

Yup. FiOS 150 is an "ethernet service".

Wrapped our AC ductwork in a fleece blanket today that I taped into place. That appears to have dramatically improved the efficiency of our air conditioning!

We had an insane heating bill the first winter in our house. After putting in new windows we cut it dramatically the next year.

Probably saved enough to pay for the windows in that 1 year. Some friends actually got a government handout to insulate and replace windows in the house, and all they have to do is stay in the house 5 years of which they've been there 4.5 now.

I hope that works out well for you! Are you getting the batteries to store the power, or just selling extra back to the grid?

I'm considering a solar PPA for my tenant property.. not sure if it's worth it to me or not. . .

@jt1001001 I am considering doing this and I'd be really interested what your end costs are and what location you're in if you're willing to share. No pressure.
