In case the explanation will help: I voted no; I live in a condo so the approval process is far more complicated. Also I just managed to get two 60 amp EVSE's installed (live mid-Jan) so I don't want to immediately approach the strata council with another non-ROI idea. Especially because at the moment I'm the only one using the charging stations, plus an occasional visiting Volt. I have thought about it, and will continue, but I can't see the time being right in the foreseeable future.
Well, I don't think it would hurt to get the ball rolling. If you anticipate wanting to get it, it would make sense to discuss it as soon as possible so you're ready when he opportunity arises. There are management issues so the best time to get it is when the roof is due for replacement so that panel management is integrated into the roof design. Solar should only get cheaper, there would be a cost to figure out, and you could canvass opinion on whether people would be willing to pay a supplement with refunds based on output. I know you're mostly hydro, but that's actually good for solar, since it's a huge storage bank that means you can make the most of any solar power as you add demand to the grid for electric cars.
