Thank you! One good thing is that as time goes on, solar panels will become more affordable kind of like television. We too really want to get rid of our electric bill and are looking forward to the day that we can get our panels up and running. The things I listed in the post are just some things that we have done or are planning to do in the immediate future, but there is still so much more that we want to do to become more self-reliant. It just seems that there is a whole bunch of tasks we want to get done, but never have enough time to do them!
