Here is a guy who has a 3,200 square foot home.
"Since the (photovoltaic) system was installed about three years ago, our electric bill has averaged $166 A YEAR. We make virtually all the power we
consume -- and that's in a house with two adults, two teenagers, four flat-screen HDTV's, seven computers-- you get the idea. The cost? After i factored in second-mortgage-interest, tax writeoffs and inflation over the 40 year projected life of the system, it looks like we'll save $78,000 compared with the cost of buying electricity from the utility. And prices of systems have PLUNGED since we took the plunge: our 6 kilowatt system that cost about $39,000 three years ago is about $28,000."
Come on S&L where is your pioneering spirit? You know that spirit that built America.
