Any of you gotta Stash Spot???

Probably made the mistake of running it off of grid power...kind of stands out when you have a several hundred dollar power bill in an area that may only have a fraction of that for an average //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
You'd think with the amount of money they were raking in they'd spend the $10k or so to run the entire operation from solar panels or something //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But even if it was entirely untraceable by its energy consumption...something that size, word of mouth is your biggest enemy.

 
From what Ive heard, you can make money from having solar panels if you make more energy than you consume.
Yeah, that's true. All you need is a something called a grid-intertie inverter - something that converts the DC from the panels into AC that goes back to the power company. If you make more power than you're taking in, you can watch your meter spin backwards //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Although they're paying you the same rate you're buying power for, which puts you at a huge disadvantage, relatively.

The town my school is in (valparaiso, obviously //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif) just built a "smart house"; one of its features was to have a $0 energy cost for the entire year. It builds up all its energy in the summer that it sells to the electric company, and thus when they need electricity in the winter (more costs and less sunlight) it uses the money it made off selling power to the electric company. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Pretty cool idea.

 
when using that many HID lights... generators ftw..or tapping off before the meter..but they eventually catch on to that.

Just imagine the waste you would have to get rid of from a grow like that. I mean have any of you tried to lug out tons of wet rockwool and then find someplace to dump it..just moving in supplies and moving out waste would be a logistic nightmare. Id be pretty nervous every time i dumped the rockwool and root balls.

using several houses with smaller set ups ftw..then when you lose one...your not totally fcked.
