A vendor in Austin told me to ditch the generator and go solar

Last year a guy running a BBQ truck at a farmers market swore I'd save $200 a month switching to solar panels. I was skeptical since my old generator had been fine for two years. After 8 months with a 400 watt Renogy setup, I'd have to admit he was right. Has anyone else made the switch and seen a real difference in operating costs?

Oh man, I made that exact switch last spring for my popup taco stand. The upfront cost stung a bit, but my monthly electric bill dropped about $180 once I got the panels dialed in. Just make sure you size your battery bank right or you'll be cursing on cloudy days.

$180 a month? That's legit. Almost pays for the tacos.
