Libbyt, RE: <<Solar power IMO makes the most sense for the average homeowner. I would love to add a system....>>

I fully agree. It's insane that we don't have solar in most homes in most areas. The cost savings in energy would be tremendous. The problem in the past has been cheap power (if you don't consider the hidden costs in terms of environment and depletion) and complicated systems that don't hold up well and that have too few techs that know what they're doing. We have wood heated water coils that run off of our woodstove in the winter and solar for 8 months of the year. Until recently our power bills for a large home in fairly cold winter country have been from $75-125 an average month.

I recently invested with my solar guy in a startup that has some patents and a simple efficient design that should be cheap, easy to install, efficient, attractive, long lasting and virually maintenance free. Either that or maybe I will lose all of my investment. sick gg.

If you can wait a while you will probably see other new systems along with gov incentives to purchase and install such systems. Ed

edit, this is for water only. It makes sense for almost everyone to at least heat their water since this is a large percentage of our home power usage.
