spasm01What are ways Renters (of a house) can get into alternative energy?
Am a renter. Recently got two solar panels installed, maxing out at about 600 watts. It’s called a balcony power plant and you essentially just plug it into an ordinary outlet.
Seconded, same here, though if OP lives in the US chances are that’s illegal.
However, OP, it’s still worth a try imho if you have a way of doing it semi-stealthily. I got four used 220Wp panels, a used DC to ac converter and then plugged that right into an outlet. Now when the sun shines, we generate between 2-4kWh per day, which is usually used right up by appliances and chargers. We figure we’ll break even in 3-4 years, but that’s a bit skewed because of high electricity prices here on Germany and the low upfront costs of getting everything used and then installing it on our slanted sunroom roof conveniently facing southwest
Why would that be illegal?
hoodatninjaAs much as landlords like to pretend otherwise, they pretty much have all the power when it comes to legislated rights/protections. They just point to the occasional instance of a squatter or someone abusing the system to pretend like they are victims of said system.
Source: am landlord (rent out my old home) and frankly I can do almost whatever I want. I’m before people start shouting at me about rent seeking and all of that, I actually charge probably 20% less than anyone around me and I’m friends with almost all my tenants lol if shit breaks, I fix it. I do not understand why that is so hard for other landlords. But apparently the bar is so low that that makes me exceptional.
