Thinking about buying solar panels (lemmy.world)

So I received an estimate for solar on my roof, which has a good southern slant.

The panels, if financed, would cost about $200/month and offset my $150/month energy bill. The loan would be for 20 years.

However, I might refinance my home and pay in cash. Is now a good time to make this investment?

For the pump, maybe you could look into (secondhand) aquarium pumps? They're meant to be constantly running. Flow rate is fixed though, so you'll have to decide the size if your pond first.

That's a good idea!
