Can you tell us how much you’re saving per month, and what it costs per month for the panels? I want some, too, but am tempted to wait a few more years for the price per watt to come down.
My bills were $140 – 160/mo; the credit balance you see is because we were on ‘level pay’ at $150/mo and in the last 4 months, we’ve saved over $250. The lease cost over those 4 months was $280, so I’m out of pocket about $8/mo for the solar.
But – I think we’re looking at big electricity price hikes, so I have now effectively hedged about half my use, and can add on to the system relatively cheaply.
The price of systems will definitely fall – but so will the subsidies, which may be an incentive to move faster.
Nice.
BTW, I asked once, who makes the PV panels?
Not bad. It’s only a bit more than I use without solar panels.
You did pretty good I used 414 kWh last month

When I read the post title, I was wonder if you were planning to move to Alpha Centauri or the Earth-like planet some scientists discovered 🙂
