(The following is an encore episode from 2022, but all the info is still "probably true.")

On the next Probably True Solar Stories, we imagine how the AI and robots of the future could affect solar sales in the year 2040. On the surface, it seems great, but there's a bit of a twist at the end...

NOTE: This Probably True Solar Story does reference when two people fall in love, yada, yada, yada. So you should probably listen to this one when young kids aren't listening and it's just you and your significant other...

True Solar Takeaways:

• Ideally, your solar panels should face South in the Northern Hemisphere. If designing a home, Sothern exposure can also provide energy-saving natural lighting and heating benefits.  
• You need to make sure that any trees are trimmed below the solar panels
• Your home's wiring and fuse box may need an upgrade.
• If you're getting new air conditioning, consider a heat pump, which both heats and cools the air.
• Get all solar quotes in $/DC watt so that you can compare apples-to-apples pricing. In other words, "$3.00/DC watt" could be one quote. $3.25/DC watt is another quote. If all have quality equipment and good online reviews, select the least expensive one.
