Looking at doing a metal roof.
They do that here too, albeit, the rates are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lower though. For the first 500kwh it's $0.028 per kwh. they tack on a few other charges, so it's a bit more expensive than that, but yea, looks way cheaper than CA.
In Texas, panels are basically a no brainer. However, it's just because we get so much damn sun.
Issue is, I'm also working on a bathroom remodel.

In California, because of cap-and-trade, they jack up the price the more electricity you use. So you might start with enough to run a refrigerator, washer and dryer at $0.18 per KWh, but then they start jacking the price up fast to where you might be paying $0.37 per KWh. That's California though. Other states don't have that, so you have to look at how much you can generate (if your're in the sunbelt) vs. the price of panels (which are coming down in price as performance improves). In California, it's a no brainer because of cap-and-trade and tax credits. In South Dakota, or somewhere like that, it might not pay.

I can think of 11780 reasons Trump shouldn't be president ever again.
