    “Most expensive” and “didn’t work” are very different, but she was far from an early adopter considering Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House in the 1970s and I remember some very wealthy people having them on their homes when I was a kid in the 1980s.

    Also, it saved her huge amounts on her electric bill, so I don’t know that it was the most expensive for her.

      And we will be earlier adopters than our children. Yeah that’s very cool of your mom… and Jimmy Carter :)
