• Do I want to generate more electricity than I need so I can sell some for a profit?
• Do I want my solar investment to provide hot water and heating/cooling?
• If I’m interested in generating electricity, have I used a free solar calculator to get an idea of the cost and benefits? (Free solar calculator)
