Ann Arbor (manaʻo ʻike) - Ua hoʻokumu ke Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) i kahi hōʻaiʻē ʻauhau 10-makahiki 30% no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā panela lā ma luna o nā hale.Inā hoʻolālā kekahi e noho lōʻihi ma ko lākou home.ʻAʻole kākoʻo wale ka IRA i ka hui ponoʻī ma o nā ʻauhau ʻauhau nui.
Wahi a ka 'Oihana o Energy, Toby Stranger in Consumer Reports e papa inoa i nā lilo e hiki ai ke loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hōʻaiʻē ʻauhau 30% no kāu ʻōnaehana solar home.
He 25 mau makahiki ke ola pono o ka panela solar.Ma mua o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka makahiki 2013, ua hoʻopaʻa hou mākou i ka hale a manaʻolana e lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o nā kile hou e like me nā panela hou.He $18,000 kā mākou mau panela solar 16 a hoʻonui i nā hola 4 megawatt i kēlā me kēia makahiki.He liʻiliʻi loa ka lā o Ann Arbor i Dekemaba a me Ianuali, no laila he mea ʻino kēlā mau mahina ʻelua.Eia naʻe, ʻaneʻane uhi piha kēia mau panela i kā mākou hoʻohana ʻana i ke kauwela, a no ka mea he uila kā mākou ea, ʻo ia kā mākou makemake.
E lohe ʻoe i nā mea he nui, he hapa ka nui o lākou, e pili ana i ka lōʻihi āu e uku ai no kahi panel e mālama ai i ka uila.Hiki ke kūʻai ʻia ke ʻano o nā panela i kēia lā mai $12,000 a i $14,000 no ka mea ua emi nui ke kumukūʻai o nā panela.Me kahi IRA, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi hōʻaiʻē ʻauhau 30%, me ka manaʻo he nui kāu ʻauhau.Ma kahi ʻōnaehana $14,000, hoʻemi kēia i ke kumukūʻai i $9,800.Akā e noʻonoʻo i kēia: Manaʻo ʻo Zillow e hiki i nā panela solar ke hoʻonui i kou home 4%.Ma kahi hale $200,000, piʻi ka waiwai o ke kaulike e $8,000.
Eia nō naʻe, me ke kumu kūʻai o ka home ma waena o ʻAmelika i kēia makahiki he $348,000, ʻo ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā panela solar ma luna o ka hale e hoʻonui i $13,920 i kāu waiwai ʻupena.No laila ma waena o ka hoʻomaha ʻauhau a me ka loaʻa kālā, ʻaʻole manuahi nā panela e hoʻohana, ma muli o nā kilowatts o ka array āu e kau ai.Inā helu ʻoe i ka ʻauhau ʻauhau a hoʻonui i ka waiwai o ka home, hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i kāu bila ikehu, inā ʻaʻole koke, a laila ma hope koke o kou kūʻai ʻana.ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole pili ka piʻi ʻana o ke kaulike a hiki i ka pau ʻana o ka panela i ka hopena o kona ola, no laila ʻaʻole makemake nā mea a pau e helu iā ia.
Ma waho o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kaulike, ma koʻu ʻāina kahi ʻōnaehana $14,000 e ʻoi aku ma mua o 7 mau makahiki e uku ai ma hope o ka hōʻaiʻē ʻauhau, ʻaʻole nui no ka ʻōnaehana 25 makahiki.Eia kekahi, i ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai o nā wahie fossil, pōkole ka manawa uku.Ma UK, manaʻo ʻia e uku ʻia nā panela solar i loko o ʻehā mau makahiki ma muli o ke piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai kinoea fossil.
Inā hoʻohui ʻoe i nā panela lā me kahi ʻōnaehana pā hale e like me ka Powerwall, hiki ke ʻoki ʻia ka manawa uku i ka hapalua.A e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna, aia kekahi mau ʻauhau ʻauhau i loaʻa ke kūʻai ʻoe i kēia mau huahana.
Eia kekahi, inā kūʻai ʻoe i kaʻa uila, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kahi hōʻaiʻē ʻauhau $7,500 i kekahi mau hihia, a hoʻohana ʻoe i ka charger wikiwiki i ka lā e hoʻopaʻa ai i kāu kaʻa me nā panela solar, a i ʻole ʻoe e hoʻohana i ka pā hale e like me ka Powerwall.He ʻōnaehana e uku ana i ka manawa kaʻawale ma ka mīkini a ma ka panel, e mālama ana i ke kinoea a me ka uila.
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, i koʻu manaʻo inā he mea hale ʻoe a noho ʻoe ma kou home i kēia manawa no nā makahiki he ʻumi, e hoʻopau paha ʻoe i ke kālā ma ka hoʻokomo ʻole ʻana i nā panela lā.
Ma waho aʻe o nā kumukūʻai, ʻoluʻolu ʻoe i ka hoʻemi ʻana i nā hoʻoiho CO2.Hoʻopuka kā mākou mau paneli i ka 33.5 MWh o ka lā, inā ʻaʻole lawa, hoʻemi nui i kā mākou hana kalapona.ʻAʻole mākou manaʻo e noho lōʻihi mākou i loko o kēia hale, a i ʻole e hoʻokomo i nā panela hou aʻe a hoʻokomo i ka pauma wela, a i kēia manawa he hōʻaiʻē ʻauhau nui.
