"Because it's not an investment" It is for me.I'm in the middle of the process. I figure it will pay for itself in 3-4 years. After that, no more electric bills,except for whatever I need to pay for being hooked to the grid. That includes about $4000 in Cal rebates and a 2K tax credit. Right now, in California, we don't get paid if the meter goes below zero. When we start that again, I'll pay another several hundred dollars for a time of use meter. You get paid (or pay) 3x as much for power during peak hours (1000-1888) than for off peak. "i can't understand how you put on photo electric cells on your roof" I'm putting mine on the ground. Cheaper.
