Re: Solar Panels Cost of Ownership

My hat is off to you!

  Clearly you've done more that a dozen ordinary folks, probably more!  You've made a decision to sacrifice, and I just can't think of a higher compliment.

  I didn't mean to impugn your generosity, only to point out that it would be impossible for you to subsidize the almost unlimited demand for energy systems at $4.80/Watt...  You could help neighbors, friends, etc. but you wouldn't be able to created a sustainable business.

  You could offer up your entire accumulated wealth & resources and be sucked dry by those folks that only care about what the world owes them.

   Sorry, I don't know what a "block" of renewable energy referred to...  The negotiable and traded unit of Renewable Energy Credit aka "Green Tags" or "SREC" refer to a Megawatt-Hour and typically trade in the $200 range.

  If you're buying 8 of those per month, then the financial savings of your 2500W solar panel are clearly irrelevant when compared to your dedication  to do what is right! 

  Unfortunately very few people have the means to budget $20,000/year to environmental causes, for causes' sake.  My goal is to make available a system that will enable regular folks to achieve the benefits of clean solar energy, and put a little $$$ in their pocket each month.
