Solar works surprisingly well and efficiently up here. The cool temperatures make more of a difference in the panel efficiency than many give creedence to.

My neighbor runs his entire 2900 sq/ft house and boat house/dock off of a south facing panel array. . and still sells some back every month.

He said he got a little close in January of this year.

I'm on Lake Tapps fwiw.

If I could tag on to the original question. I'm also moving to Gig Harbor, and I'm interested in best provider for cell phone coverage out there. Not trying to hijack the thread. I'll start a new one if AirCav isn't interested in Gig Harbor cell phone coverage.

A good friend of mine is a realtor in Gig Harbor and could answer any questions you might have. He is also a 787 pilot for United.

I have Xfinity for cable and internet. Too many trees for a dish to work. Tmobile works ok for me, but really shines if you fly international.

If you're here Friday (24th) drop by Finholm's 5-7 for the monthly tap takeover. It's across the street from Anthony's.

Comcast (i.e. Xfinity) has a lock on Gig Harbor, we don't have the internet options the Tacoma peeps have.

I had Verizon years ago and was happy with it. AT&T now and it's fine. ATT fixed a couple of dead spots near my house recently so now I have few issues.

I "cut the cable" a few years ago, and the only channel I can get with an antenna is Fox13. The other big stations broadcast from Seattle and I can't pick them up. But, I'm on the West side of the peninsula at about 100' MSL.
