Twin 30k flower rooms on a flip.
Lets make it easy and just say.
60 1k bulbs
12 hours a day

720 kw per day
30 days

21,600 or 21.6kw per month
21.6kw per month
.32 cents per kwh

$6,912
@ 4-5k per month you would have to be in the range of paying roughly .19-.23 cents per kwh.
Lets go with the lower end of that range and say 19 cents.
21.6

4.104 per month just to run the lights. So even at the lower range 4 grand a month x 12 months in a year.
You are looking at $48,000 a year just to run lights. Or if we say the higher range .23 cents per kwh,
it would be more like, $59,616 per year just for the lights. Lets call it 50-60k a year and meet in the middle.
SO 55k a year to run lights. You believe that panels would save you only 30% of your bill. So 30% of 55k would be,
16.5 saved through this investment each year. 16.5 x 18 years $297.000 It might take you 18 years to get your money
back in full, but in the mean time do you really want to be paying that 30% each month for those 18 years? Solar is rated
to last 30 years. So what about that 30% savings you invested in that should last you at least that remaining 12 years.
$16.5k a year. Seems like a decent investment for a business that kind of pays for itself in the long run already.
Lets also not forget all the dough you will make from your project here, so it's not like all expenses are not getting paid
in return any way. But yeah those next 12 years at $16.5k a year adds up to $198,000. Get your 90k back in the process.
And in 30 years sell your grow op, and buy a bigger better building. Or plan to get yourself a 30 year mortgage for a better
building when that one gets run down, if you can even manage to stay in business that long. Maybe you are looking to get rich quick.
And as far as your statement about solar panels being suspicious on a building
and the comment about you getting such little amount of sunlight per day.
"After awhile, it's not about the growing, it's about finding a good space."
Maybe you should have gone with a better location that wouldn't be suspicious at all.
Maybe even a underground bunker under a field of solar panels and just a tough shed near by
used as a pump house for a well in some remote location. This shed could have a hidden hatch and stairway.
"We are using the patened, buy all the shit seperately and put it together ourselves system."
You seem resourceful and have skills. Think of the savings if you DIY solar panels, will take a while, lol.
"Spent the day cutting steel racks off the wall with a oxy torch and powerwashed the inside of the warehouse."
I wouldn't be all the shocked if you own or know someone with a backhoe and dump truck.
Maybe not but usually I've noticed that people who are mechanically inclined and have these type of skill sets either
own equipment or can easily reach out to someone they know. Even just some shipping containers put in the ground being
called a wine cellar and telling people the solar panels are for keeping the wine chilled. I'm getting rather off from
your situation though. Maybe I'm just having too much fun with this dreaming about things. Do I think before I post? Yes, I do.
Maybe you really are blowing money, by not thinking 30 years from now. The way things look the US might also be looking at buying
oil from Russia within those next 30 years. So finding a way to provide relief on energy costs is wise. Energy relief may very well be a
huge issue fairly soon and this doesn't apply just to a grow op.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-27/russia-discovers-massive-arctic-oil-field-which-may-be-larger-gulf-mexico^ It just takes time dude, time and space. After awhile, it's not about the growing, it's about finding a good space.
Spent the day cutting steel racks off the wall with a oxy torch and powerwashed the inside of the warehouse. Talk about filthy.
What is the hydrogen system? Never heard of it. We are using the patened, buy all the shit seperately and put it together ourselves system.
