Schneider home
This tour is of my home. I have the east, south and west of my roof covered with solar panels. I have a solar room in my basement, where I have 3 batteries. I have 2 Lumin units, which allows me to monitor and control each breaker in my home with my computer or smart phone.
I have all solar yard equipment, plus 2 battery inverters, which allow me to use my Ego batteries from my lawnmowers as 110v power sources.
My wife and I drive electric cars and have since 2015. She has a 2019 Nissan Leaf (a nice car) and I drive a Tesla Model Y (rides are available!) We drive on the sun!
Our furnace is highly efficient, taking an average of $50 a month of gas to heat our 4,600 sq. ft. home.
