I put in high-efficiency windows last winter and then added solar panels this spring. Honestly, the combo seems to work better than I expected. My AC barely runs now, even when it’s blazing outside. The upfront cost hurt a bit, but my electric bill dropped a ton. Not sure if it’ll pay off as fast as the installer claimed though… Anyone else try both and notice a difference?

I did almost the same thing—got new windows last fall, then solar in March. My electric bill’s way lower too, but I’m still not sure about the payback timeline. Installer said 7 years, but with all the little fees and winter coming, I’m kind of skeptical. Still, it’s nice not hearing the AC kick on every hour.
