This is more of the subtle politics that infects all of our lives now. Trying to paint solar power as a rich person’s way to escape skyrocketing power prices. There are internet-free loans that will pay for your entire solar system, which you will pay off in under 5 years in the money saved in not paying the high bills. For the genuinely poor there are also government schemes to go a long way to electrifying your whole lifestyle. Including upgrading to a heat pump hot water heater for under $50. This investment will also make you money at a rate of return that no other investment can provide, for decades. Solar is also much cheaper than buying extra cars for the family, or a boat, or even some holidays.
