If you think going solar doesn't work or doesn't make financial sense in rainy Seattle, come and visit Richard on Oct 6, as part of the National Solar Tour.  He will provide information on his system (panels, battery and EV), how it made sense to add a battery, details of what his electricity costs, and how much his panels produce.
