I installed solar panels on my new house in 2011, which is heated by heat pumps. Most of the time I almost forget they are there because they don’t require any attention. But I am reminded of them every month when I get my electric bills, which are really low. My house is almost net zero though, of course, I use more energy than I generate in the winter. and make far more than in need in the summer so that in the hot months I supply renewable energy to others.
