Wow, I cant believe the number of negative or closed minded posters in an electric vehicle forum! I am not picking on Diver, I just quoted this post because I liked the avatar.

Solar has never been so affordable and efficient as it is today. It has nothing to do with being rich or a political statement. You can have a huge system or small and right now with tax incentives you can get about 50% of the cost back.

As far as payback goes my system will be paid back in 8 years if the electric costs don't increase. If they do it will be sooner. We have not paid an electric bill since we went live in March and we are producing excess at about 2X our usage.
