@chewie @Tomhodson thanks! I'll start a section about different charger controllers with links.I'm currently using a victron smart solar for my solarcene project and have an ecoflow stream for my house (the wall panels) so will add a little review for them

@smallsolar my solar panels are impossible to see unless you're on the roof or flying. I've only ever seen them in photos.We didn't hide them on purpose, it was just an accident of the shape of our roof. We live in a terrace, without space between houses to step back and see the south-ish facing slope. This is pretty common for terraced houses, so there's a fair amount of potential stealth solar there.

@mem_somerville I’m probably only about 3-4 hours north of you, still in New England, but just a little colder on average. When our panels get covered in snow, they tend to stay that way. 😭Still, we save thousands of dollars a year in energy costs. We burn no fuel oil, no natural gas, no propane, and one of our current cars is fully electric*. The panels paid for themselves and then some within seven years. *We will probably have to go back to having a hybrid, for reasons

@tk here the quote was for about 25k€, plus an unknown expense to change the electrical wiring to get three-phase current, plus having to pay more for electricity (because three-phase) and not being able to afford solar panels for yearsor we could start with the solar panels and start saving money on electricity and save it for more electrification laterit wasn't a hard choice :)
