Very pleased
Very pleased. Ripple has given me the opportunity to help build the infrastructure and generate as much electricity as I use from a renewable source. We can't afford to wait for government and big business to get their act together and solve everything for us. Mainly invested in the solar farm - due to be 'online' in next few months. Benefits: Infrastructure to cover the power I use costs less than installing rooftop solar. Don't have to have a suitable roof If I move the amount I save on electricity moves with me. If lifetime of project is greater than mine (quite likely) shares in project can be inherited. Each project owned by separate cooperative. Don't have to be involved in maintenance. Drawbacks: As a purely financial investment, could do better elsewhere. That's probably true of installing rooftop solar as well. Communication - could do better. Solar farm construction overrun by a few months? Don't think that's unusual for a project costing tens of millions. Happy bunny
