Solar panel love

Sean and I bought a house with solar panels (already paid for, so that was sweet as well). We had no idea how things worked. The former owners left us no info. We are learning, and we got one panel repaired (covered by warranty still, wheee!). We now have apps on our phones that talk to our roof!

And let me just say, our new house is nearly the size of our old house. And yet, our combined water and electric bill (it's altogether in Lakeland) is 1/3 of what we paid in West Palm Beach. Essentially it equals our old water bill. We are LOVING it. 

I have always been a big fan of solar power IN THEORY. Now I truly am a big fan IN FACT. And many houses in the neighborhood have solar panels, and I have plans to organize a Solar Panel Club so we can all get together and share what we know and repair people to recommend and such. I plan to bake muffins to share -- in my nearly free oven!
