I will be getting some solar panels in a few months when I get my retirement annuity

Never use a oil heater,they use too much juice.

I was going to recommend this, I'd add lights until my temp got where I needed it. The lights will have a return on investment, the heater wont.

Yes jagle solar panels are costly but with rates increasing yearly, I'll have my
system paid for in 7-8 years.

Those are Solar 240 panels and they are pretty efficient.
There are 31 more panels that you can't see in the pic.

I live where we have over 320 sunny days a year ;)
That definitely makes them more cost effective, and certainly makes a difference on production capabilities.......

Wayne,how much is your system producing and with how many panels?what was the cost?do you have any electric bill and how many watts you running besides your normal household stuff?im looking into solar and wind turbine now.

$700 is cheap as fuck...

Don't steal energy, I hear getting off free power is harder then getting of heroin.

Just utilize all the watts your using and you should be fine!

$700 bucks is still cheaper then buying your own weed.

Good Luck
Keep it real and keep it organic

Not everyone has a tier system........but I have different rates in the summer than the winter (summer is more expensive).But the rate is constant in each 6 month period.
