A political cult attacking a religious one. Whatever may be said about the WT, it is not giving financial support to Ukrainian militants.
Has anyone heard of a booklet entitled, "Will There Be Peace Without War?" If that was a WT publication, the choice of wording was unfortunate.

Indeed, Sibyl and Hystaspes foretold that all corruptible things are to be destroyed by fire. And the so-called Stoic philosophers teach that even God is to be transformed into fire, and they claim that after this evolution the world is to be made over again. We, on the contrary, believe that God, the Maker of all things, is superior to changeable things. If, therefore, we agree on some points with your honored poets and philosophers, and on other points offer a more complete and supernatural teaching, and if we alone produce proof of our statements, why are we unjustly hated beyond all others? When we say that God created and arranged all things in this world, we seem to repeat the teaching of Plato; when we announce a final conflagration, we utter the doctrine of the Stoics; and when we assert that the souls of the wicked, living after death, will be sensibly punished, and that the souls of the good, freed from punishment, will live happily, we believe the same things as your poets and philosophers.
Justin Martyr, Apology 20 (CUA Fathers of the Church translation)
In practical terms Christianity was a Greek revision of Judaism. As it developed it's own identity and momentum it sought to definitively differentiate itself from either rootstock, as Justin does in Apology excerpted above.
I posted the opening comments from Clement as a rather progressive thought. The same God.
i know that a lot of historical names have claimed to be a god.
but, jesus arguably claimed to be god.
scripture says he's the creator.
The interchangeability of "Wisdom" "Spirit" "Word" "Son of God" in Intertestamental and NT texts is indicative that the Christ figure was perceived more than simply a man named "Jesus". He/it/she was God's hands and voice. There is no contradiction in these writings in saying the Holy Spirit/Wisdom was created by God and at the same time saying the Holy Spirit was God.

The codes here require using mounting systems that meets wind load and corrosion resistance standards. The average 6KW rooftop system used a rail and standoff racking. The wholesale cost of the rails and standoffs, flashing and UFOs (special cleat/bolts Ironridge) was about $2000-2500. Including all the panels, inverter, wire, box and breakers balance of system components, parts/materials alone were about $10k.

Jinko Solar Panels: An In-Depth Review (solarreviews.com)
It's wonderful you got them for that price. As I said your government must be heavily subsidizing the industry. We used Panasonics at the time. They were about $500 ea back then. I know they have come down a bit but you did great. I assure you I didn't leave a thumbs down, Simon still won't give me permission to do that.
A typical installation took 2-3 days with a team of 3. 1 on ground 2 on roof with harnesses. The first day was just setting up scaffolding and installing the mounting rails and perhaps the junction box/panel. The next was spent mounting the panels and some wire pulling. If the roof was steep, it often spilled into a 3rd day for completion. You guys are fast, or there is something very different about your installation methods and codes.

Jinko solar panel cost
A solar energy system built with Jinko solar panels typically costs around $2.25–$2.50 per watt. That means a 6 kilowatt (kW) system will cost you between $13,500 and $15,000 before incentives.
To get the 5.7KW from 13 panels you must have the 440W Jinkos that Solar Dynamics uses. You got a deal mate.

LOL, I thought you were in Victoria Canada! You likely have a 30% better solar resource than we do. And facing NORTH makes more sense! The government MUST be subsidizing the industry to sell that cheap. That is the wholesale price of just the panels. Never mind the inverter, installation and balance of system (wires, fasteners, electric panel/boxes, array rails supports, etc.).

Victoria has a 4hr/peak sun equivalent/ day just as I have.

All things being ideal and perfect you have a potential of 5.7KW x 4h x 30 (days)= 684KWH/month. That times the rates you provided calculates to (14KWH x .10 + 670KWH x .049) = $34.23/month.
You put them on a north facing roof which reduces potential about 30% and east which reduces potential 15%. If these numbers are correct, you at absolute best could expect a savings of about $20/month. That's not even considering snow loss or voltage management. Is maybe the credit a cumulative figure? Some companies here bank your credits monthly, others quarterly, others annually (best). My state has a ridiculous number of independent power companies (about 300) each makes it's own rules within some very basic State guidelines.
I'm editing my post because I just noticed your billing is quarterly (90 days) that makes much more sense. You also must be getting more per KWH than you think. You still stole the system at $5700!. Good for you.

$1/Watt! that's mighty low. Did you get the panels online and have an electrician friend install them?
