Power Consumption
Solar is a great idea, where there is sun. New Hampshire averages 2519 hours of sun a year or about 54% of the time, which isn't bad. Arizona on the other hand averages 3806 hours a year, or about 85% of the time. NH is tied for 8th least sunny hours in the US. A better long term addition for energy savings that has few moving parts and little if not any depreciation is heat pumps. They heat, they cool very efficiently and the maintenance is very minimal. Solar is a good idea in the right geographic location.
