Hit 30 solar panels mounted on my own house and I'm still shocked

I've been doing this desert renovation for about two years now, little by little. Last weekend I finally hit 30 solar panels up on my roof in Phoenix and I honestly didn't think I'd get that far. Each one took forever to install because of the heat and making sure the brackets were solid on the clay tiles. I kept a tally on my garage wall and seeing that number 30 made me realize how many afternoons I spent up there sweating. The electric bill dropped by like 40 bucks already this month which feels good too. Has anyone else kept a running count on something during their build and surprised yourself?

Dropped your bill by 40 bucks already? That's wild for just one month with 30 panels. I would have guessed the savings would take a few months to show up that clearly, especially with all the AC you guys run out there. Take this with a grain of salt but your setup might be doing better than you think.

Honestly @morgan.jason this post totally changed my mind, I used to think solar took forever to pay off but seeing your 40 buck drop in one month is pretty convincing.

Give it some time, the real savings come when summer hits.
