I always laugh when people say they can't get natural gas in rural areas. My family has a secluded ranch in the mountains (25 miles of dirt road from the nearest highway), 5 miles behind locked gates), and they even have natural gas to the cabins out there.
The main pipeline happened to pass within 200 yards of the cabins, and my grandfather made some deal in the 50s that got the utility company to tap into it and run a line. They even drove out to check the meters for years, but now they just have us fill out the usage and mail it to them.
Yea it's weird that I live in an upscale suburban neighborhood and one street will have gas and one or two houses away and you won't have it, same with my mom, the natural gas ends about 100ft from her house and PECO refuses to run it any further, if I want to use gas I have to use bottle propane, as it is right now I have 3 250# bottles, my neighbor has 4.... I hate it. When we remodel our house I'm going to have a 1000# tank buried in the yard and convert the entire house, as it stands, I've got oil heat, electric hot water, a propane stove and propane pool heater, that's the options.
You could probably get a decent setup for <$10k. Guess Tesla is more fancy? Haven't read up on it.
$100K? that's a lot of gigawatts.
I have looked into it a few times, I would never install "traditional" solar panels because they look like complete shit, the Tesla system looks like real shingles and has an incredible warranty, I am going to look into it a little more, I need a roof on my garage, which runs off a separate meter from my house, but the garage is the source of power for my shit pump, so, in a way in solves two problems for me, one is lowering my garage bill to probably 0$ and it would provide a back up power source for my shit pump so when I install a whole house propane back up generator I don't have to run another circuit to the garage
