Does anyone else find it curious that the price of a system in Louisiana just happens to coincide with the maximum expense allowed to qualify for the tax credit? The price hasn't changed for several years despite changes in costs of electricity that should alter the demand for the systems. You would think some enterprising company would be able to install a system for less than the maximum cost and undercut the competition. Somehow that hasn't happened.
