I made the leap and decided to get solar panels. Come on sunny weather I'm ready to save some money.

UPDATE: I got the last step done on getting my solar panels up and running(net meter hooked up) on Wednesday. In 3 days I've taken in 100kwh.

It sounds like he's only getting the 30% federal tax credit.

Nice! I would love to put some on my house but the payoff would take several years.....my electric in the heat of the summer only runs $130 or so.

does the 12 year payback account for inflation?

Does the 12 yr payback account for end of life panels or storm damage?

My question is what do you do when its time to repair/replace the roof. How do the mexicans get shingles under the panels?
