Yeah, I have considered solar. Need to get estimates for that. Ours is an old house, and is ideally angled/situated for the sun rather than the street. The rooftop might be perfect. (Back when this house was built, it was alongside a river that has been redirected. Now the road it's on it built on that old riverbed.)

I'd go into it with a plan for the following:

  • retrofit insulation & windows
  • replace gas heating with a heat pump
  • electrical system upgrades
  • Solar
  • storage battery
