yeah, but he has a nice kitchen.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
I've done it !!!
Well, it wasn't the cheapest choice, but is was well under my limit.
@NSX: Don't know why, but Panasonics are quite expensive over here. Still thanks for the advice^^

Installed late last month, now operating with the return meter. The roof attachment system exceeds hurricane requirements,
everything is anodized aluminum and stainless. Got huge tax and cash incentives, so this setup will pay for itself in about 4 years.
Making about 30% more electricity than we use... selling power back to the grid!
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
is that constructed on ground level? So you have 30% spare, did you already calculate the number of Priuses that you can run with that?

Got this the other day for PS3. Wanted to get it for 360 instead but they didn't have it.
Don't Priuses run on smugness? Or something else, like from the South Park episode... We're just off-setting the emissions from our small fleet of old cars, which is the ultimate recycling effort. Would consider a proper plug-in for commuting, though. Waiting for the Aptera...
We would have liked to capture our excess but Lithium batteries are really expensive and the tech isn't quite there yet. Lead-acid are
what our friends use in the Bahamas, but it would take a large bank we don't have space for. Besides, who wants to service acid batteries? Our nightime use is more than offset by daytime production so would only be of any benefit when we get smacked by a hurricane and lose power for who knows how long. We're installing an LNG generator for that inevitability.
Over the past two years I've updated everything from the AC (21.5 SEER) to lighting (nearly all LED) and converted the AC & pool systems to 220v so our power use is half what it used to be. Adding this PV array made us a net producer @ 7.5kWh... pretty damn cool.

I thought California was pretty good with incentives for alternative energy. Have the state's finance issues reduced that? Even though where you live doesn't require the AC load we southerners expect I'd think your power needs could be easily produced by PVs. The Fed tax break alone ($25K) should cover it.

We had federal incentives here for this sort of thing, but they canned it for being too popular.
Yea.
Life's too short to drive bad cars.
