I've been solar for 2 years. Make a bit more than I use.
My monthly electric bill is 4 bucks and change, for being hooked up to the grid. Cost between 9 and 10K, out of pocket. Pays for itself in 2 more years if rates don't go up. Sooner if they do.

"night will be also used to recharge your plug-in automobile."

which, during the day, feeds back into the grid to cover peak hours...

I say subsidize the solar panels, provide tax breaks to companies who install solar panels to run their computers and monitors. Along the San Francisco-Sacramento corridor (Route 80), there are office building coming up with huge solar panels. They are installed on the roofs. Keeps the upper floors cools and the panels drive air conditioning units, cooling towers etc. McCain can use the 300 mil to subsidize those type of buildings.
