    I apologize. I did not mean to offend you.

    In the area where I live, it is not uncommon for farmers to 100% power their homes with solar power and batteries.

    I had mistakenly assumed that it was also common in other regions of the country. I have been corrected.

    Many years ago, I lived in California, so I am aware of the higher home prices. I can see where smaller more expensive homes might not have enough roof space to host panels enough to fully power those tiny expensive homes. In this area with homes being so much less expensive the opposite is true.
