6. Consider installing a solar panel on the roof

The lights, garage door opener, security cameras, and even the battery in your electric car can all be powered by solar panels installed on the roof of your garage. Solar panels offer a variety of advantages, including the ability to lessen your home’s environmental impact and offset energy expenses.

Despite the high costs associated with their purchase and installation, they might end up saving you a good amount of money over the long term. Solar energy has a number of advantages, including the fact that it doesn’t cause air pollution, is strong and can last up to 30 years, doesn’t need maintenance, and substantially lowers energy costs.

    I’m not trying to make any body green with envy. I want to fit my car into the garage and right now if I was able to drive my car into the garage, I would not be able to get out of the car. There is maybe one hundred inches to park the car in the garage and my car would require at least 90 inches. I would need another 40 to 50 inches to open the driver’s side door and get out of the car, walk to the back of the car, open the trunk or maybe the side passenger door and get the groceries bags out or whatever I came home with.

      I am about to move into a home with a super small garage so , like my daughter did we are going up in the garage, I am excited to get the lift for items and the shelving put in with a complete floor above the cars this will help at least for Christmas things and such, we are older so we don’t have kids living at home but we seem to have things we need to be able to get to.
