        "text": "Yes, you can typically install solar panels on your ADU and connect them to the grid, provided you meet local electrical codes and utility company requirements for grid-tied systems. This allows you to generate your own electricity and potentially receive credits for excess power. A practical tradeoff is that while solar can significantly reduce long-term utility costs and environmental impact, it involves an additional upfront investment and requires coordination with the local utility (like PG&E in our service area) for interconnection agreements and metering setup.",

        "description": "Yes, ADU solar panels can connect to the grid if local electrical codes and utility requirements are met. This reduces costs but requires an additional upfront investment and utility coordination."
