said by Fronkman:Personally, we will be going the route of PV with a new system scheduled to be installed this month. The system will be capable of generating our total monthly power usage during most months (we don't use much power, about 250-300 kWh /month for a family of 3) and will knock down our bill in the July and August. Based on power costs and the various incentives and tax rebates, it will pay for itself in 1.75 years.
Wow, excellent payback! Please share the details of that system.
As for the political side, big gubbmint always incentivizes things it wants us to do, and in some cases that happens to be a good thing. I'd say this is one of those cases.
As I'm likely going to be building a new house soon I'm really interested in this stuff, too.
