It’s been a couple years since I’ve updated information relating to this project. I should probably do that soon. It’s pretty amazing how much of an impact having alternative energy production at home for the last 6 years has had, not just on my bills but also the environment when I look at the statistics. Hopefully bitcointalk will get their image displaying issue resolved so the information here isn’t lost.
It is solved you just have to move your images here:

As for the solar roof / powerwall. We are looking at converting the condo building to use something like that but getting all 6 owners to agree is not a simple process. Not to mention spending $ on a roof that is still in perfect condition is a really hard sell.

I finally got around to taking screenshots of the updated statistics and updating all my images to talkimg for hosting. I'm sorry that it took me so long to do this, but I sort of expected the forum would resolve this issue. You can see we're closing in on 100 tons of CO2 avoided and 120,000 kWh of energy generated. Last month my electric bill was $16. I am truly thankful for those who have donated to this project or purchased goods from
https://nastyfans.org/mint to help keep this going. You support is appreciated.
I also went ahead and posted the total cost of this solar system, which was $24,487.92.

I'm also still using the stationary bike almost daily, although I would recommend sticking to solar for energy production.
