    “Slightly above average” is not a useful metric, I’m afraid. So, an EV means there’s not avoiding a grid tie unless you’ve got acreage for solar and are interested in buying a shitton of batteries.

    This is not the end of the world. What you can do is get a modest amount of solar and battery to lower your bills … it doesn’t sound like you’d be in a net-metering situation, so whatever shit rate your utility provides is off the table.

    What I will say is that ROI is only going up currently due to endless rate increases (and our power is city-owned; YMMV).

    How many watts do you think you could fit on that part of the roof? I’m assuming you’re looking into 450-500W panels.
