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.

I am considering this myself.
I think the total credits in LA are 80%

yeah, but it depends on a lot of factors. Im just wondering what his salesman told him.

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.

Guy at work got his last month. 20k. Out of pocket 5k.

does the 12 year payback account for inflation?

Congrats on the $23 dollars you will save next month.

what was the vendor company?

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

Will you keep us updated on the savings and well the system works?

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

most of the companies offer 100% waranty on the system.
hopefully most of this is covered.
