Lulz... I knew you were going to post this shit. How much does Coal, Nuclear, and Oil get from Subsidies? Also, once a person has set up their system, they aren't applying for more subsidies the next year, or the year after that. Maybe large corporations, but that's different than residential. Once my system is paid for, it will not have any carbon footprint as well as having electric sent back to the grid. In most residential and even corporate uses, they aren't about generating enough to power the grid other than a few larger solar farms that have only recently been announced or set up. You generate enough to cover your use, plus maybe sell back a small portion to the electric company. And solar power costs have come down ALOT in the past 10 years, by a factor of 10. Back when the subsidy started, a normal install would have taken 20+ years to pay off even with the subsidy. With the costs down, it's paid off in full within 10 years or less for most. Since the price decreases and now really making solar affordable, of course it's not accounting for much in energy output. If it's a northern state, it makes no sense to have solar as the sun hours suck to justify it. Wind or hydro-electric make far more sense in those cases. But if your area gets generally a large amount of sunlight hours and minimal clouds, it's well worth the cost and pays for itself. When my kids are grandparents, all new construction will have some sort of solar/wind element incorporated in it. I very much doubt that. Mr fusion will do away with inefficient solar and wind

How exactly are nukes renewable? Oil is more renewable than uranium. how long does the average nuke rod last in a power generation application, and what sort of useful yield do you get? And how long does a barrel of crude last once it begins the refining process, and what sort of useful yield do you get? Hurr Let's compare pineapples and pears.

Alrightie then....just signed the contract with All Energy Solar.
16 panels x 280W/panel = approx 4500 W system. (Yeah, I know...less then the 8 previously mentioned, but 100 amp service limits wattage). This will take care of 65-70% of my elec needs.
After credits, $8800 installed. 9 year pay back. This is based upon 94% solar availability to my roof, and *no* Util price increases. (uh huh)
AES takes care of all pre-install permits, after-install inspections, (get this) writing and incorporating local pub Util net-metering policy AND pricing! 25 year warranty on panels/micro-inverters and lifetime online solar/inverter monitoring.
Mid summer install planned....pics to be posted then.
P.s. I'll give a shout out to vint...the rep said by replacing my old bulbs with new LED, I could cut my elec by 10%. LOL...you got me on that one pal.

Never knew about the CRI of LED's. Will look into that. And yes, on-demand electrical will be going in after the panels are installed. Good idea. 30 gallon tank is more than enough.
