Good luck, just signed a contract for solar and for a heat pump. With the solar you can negotiate with the companies, not so much with the heat pump folks as they have that game pretty locked in but you can still get them to shave off a few $100s. From my research, it should be between a $3-$4 ppw for install here in Maine (we are pretty expensive), but very dependent on the panels and inverters and overall size of the system. I think I did okay as I was able to negotiate rec panels with Iq8 enphase inverters for far less than what other companies were quoting me for less superior systems. With that said, I haven't had my installation yet so can't recommend at this point.

I don’t want another house yet. Technically I am getting the house in a divorce settlement after I pay him a certain percentage when another property we own sells.

I also have a daughter with his anxiety and panic disorder; she is in treatment but moving right now would not be best for her.

Fun fact: it is totally legal to lie in political campaign ads in the US. The FTC's truth in advertising regulations only apply to advertisements for commercial goods and services, and the FCC has no equivalent regulations for candidate or issue advertisements.

Well nothing south of Augusta would be worth watching. Would be cool to watch a group of women talk shit about who was at Bingo, stack 3 cord of fire wood, have a few glasses of Allens and still have a home cooked meal on the table.
