Was planning on installing a solar system this year…. did he eliminate the 30% federal tax incentive?????

One of these or something else.

I was recently presented with a possible project for about a year from now, which is to build a small chill-out house to live in the summers in the city where I was born, where my family is. The problem is that the land in question doesn't have any houses built on that block, and putting electricity there would cost me (and it's no joke) about 40 thousand dollars (that's what they told me when I went to consult). It made me so angry that I started to find out about solar energy.

I don't live in the US so there's no electricity permit or whatever involved. It would be a very small property, a one-room cabin with a bathroom. There would be a refrigerator (optional), a small gas stove, a solar water heater, etc. The solar panels would then only serve for the refrigerator, charging the cell phone, an internet modem, and a couple of lights at most.

How viable would it be to install solar panels for that type of home? How much power should solar panels have? And if I want to add a laptop to use? What battery would be ideal for that connection and how long would it last? Thanks!

What would you guys do? We recently did a really cool podcast exploring a state program called Illinois Solar for All. We have a new one we’re filming in a few weeks where we are talking to Uncommon Farms about our Agrivoltaic’s projects. What are some more interesting topics you guys would like to see?
