No wonder I couldn't find it. I did a search also.

No attic! Flat roof. No crawl space. Large overhangs to keep heat out in summer...

Yes, there is a rebate thing going on. Thanks for the tip on the Rheem. I now need to find an installer. Okay, so how is technically 70% of the energy solar??? If I have it in a utility closet?

Latest Update on trying to figure this out. I called a number of solar companies yesterday. Very few will upgrade any system unless they installed it. One company who says they will do it will install a second system in parallel. But they were not very enthusiastic about it and did not...

From the consultant I was talking to he implied that the only reason they haven't taken off in the US is that we have insisted just basic solar to simplify the message. So glad to hear this is successful in France! I found a contractor that has been around the block for a long time and is...

Substantially inland. Almost no fog. Even overcast seems to have died down completely in the last few years! Climate has drastically changed. Solar in general works great here.

Good points. But could make sense if I can't add to my existing panels... in a sense buy electricity again rarely use A/C -- so summer I generate a lot of excess power Flat roof -- more than enough space for expansion

My county has a new rebate program and an actual consultant team you can call for free. I explained my situation and they pointed to Solar Thermal and/or Vacuum Tubes. https://www.sunmaxxsolar.com/product-info/evacuated-tube-solar-collectors/...

Well last time I checked and called around I was told 'your system is too old' we would just have to start from scratch. I think that was Tesla....and maybe a second person not sure. I think I may have found someone that will upgrade my solar. They have been around for 30 years so they may...

I have had solar for 15 years now and the system cannot be upgraded. I have been waiting a while to heat the house with clean energy. Throwing out perfectly good panels (or donating them) seems a bit extreme, and running the electric heat pump on grid energy seems like a weak choice. I have...

Sounds like someone with an insane amount of money and a large car collection. For whatever reason, he/she/they are "downsizing".

I have looked at that route in the past and ended up never doing it. Keeping your speed under 50 the whole time would be really really long, and would likely annoy those behind you. Definitely not in the winter. that is a lot of uphill and likely up and down and curvy roads. My gut says no --...

? Are you saying your aging 2012's battery is too degraded?
