Southern states (UT, CA, NV) have incentives that push the return over 20% p.a. A homeowners installing a $20k system has cost of $10k and savings of $150-200/mo in CA.

I live in Northern CA in a 1450sqft house and my energy bill averaged over the year is approx 80-85$/month. My house and heating system are 30 years old and not well insulated. We do not sit cold in winter but don't use the room air conditioner a lot. I have heard about people having astronomical energy bills but quite honestly I don't know how they get there. The Northern CA climate requires very little heating and i don't think Southern CA should be much worse in terms of air conditioner usage. Somehow these savings numbers don't add up at least for somebody with my usage pattern.
