A True Doomsday Prepper
I'm hoping that eventually the power companies play ball, and that the solar leasing companies can get more of a foothold in the state.
Solar leasing is actually pretty cool, from a prepper standpoint. They provide and own all the equipment, and they keep the tax break, while you pay a monthly lease fee (which at least is steady, vs. fluctuating power use), that is generally cheaper than your power bill would be. Thing is, if the SHTF, you still have the equipment all there, doing what it does...hehe....

Hey, hope all is well in Florida...will venturing soon out your way for Orlando and Panama City. I hadn't heard about solar leasing, but locally, we are starting to get tons of wind farms in the nearby counties. They've started three wind farms just the west of our county and the three that are built just South and South East of us are bringing an economic boom. Helps when we are still in the emergency drought mode, no companies will invest in manufacturing without water. So the wind farm energy will help defray the economic loss. Our county government is still hedging and doesn't want to bring in a company like B.P., but they are a bit reactionary and not progressive to think out of the box. However, the wind farms that have sprouted all over Texas have helped out with schools, road pavement.
Makes sense that if you lease, their will be some help, but I will have our system paid off in another 5 more years. We generate quite a bit because we get total sunshine here. Our panels face directly south, so we get a pretty good amount of it hitting the panels.
As for the panels, well all that will be standing is the monolith frame.
