Solar Collectors is a strange term methinks. I had to look it up ...

Definition of solar collector
: any of various devices for the absorption of solar radiation for the heating of water or buildings or the production of electricity

Here we use the term 'Solar Energy Solutions' which actually when you think about it..is not correct and does not explain what it is. Hmmmm...our term is really the 'strange term' ... never too old to learn.

Well, my solar system collects solar energy, turns it into electricity, which heats my house...I don't what the official term for it is here, but solar collector seemed appropriate when I wrote the post. I'm not an educated man, so have to get by with what limited IQ I've been given.

Do you have a solar energy solution yourself?

My comment actually agreed with your term ... solar collector appears to be the correct term.
No we don't, and we have no plans to install one. The price is prohibitive and the unit is taxed so the return of capital is around 13 years ... and we intend relocating to Europe in (hopefully) two years time. An argument could be made that it will increase the value of our property but that is a moot point as our property is probably over capitalized already for the area in which we live.

Do you know where in Europe or is it wherever the work is? (Assuming you're still working.) I'd like to go to Austria, somewhere small, but close to a sizeable city...Not too far from Salzburg maybe.

Yeah, probably not much point adding solar to an over-capitalised property, especially if you are selling.

My wife is Italian descent so Italy probably. I love Croatia and its people and it is more affordable, as is Portugal ...

We visited all three countries over the past three years and my wife still wants to go to Italy. A silver lining from these bad days is that we could possibly pick up a cheaper home due to a sad sale.

I have retired already, now just waiting for my wife (or BTC to hit $150k ...yeah right!)

Austria on the bucket list .... as is the Czech Republic

I've heard Croatia is pretty nice but would say Italy is awesome too! We've been a couple times and simply loved it! The Tuscan region would my my choice, the outskirts of Firenze. Such nice scenery, food, culture and history.

Yeah $150K would be nice. Let's cross our fingers!
