CT yankee,

  Did you compare it to the cost of Nuclear used in your area, or the 50% coal used in most of the USA. One miner death is payback for me to pick a smarter choice. The air pollution on top of that and we all win. Then add in the water use for coal or Nuclear and it's a real win.

   Did you know nuclear cost us 50 cents a kwh ? Do you know the real cost of coal ? Do you live near huge trasmission lines and transformers ?

   My little 2.5 kw system cost me about 12K back when I added it in 2001 witrh no incentives and no net-metering. Now I have net-metering. Since I installed it and became a smarter energy user with solar screens to block the summer heat, solar hot water and efficeint lights and appliances I have no electric bill 6 months of the year. The other months I pay 20-30 a month.

    My system has already paid for itself in dollars. I also help reduce Global Warming. My system is priceless.
