Ok, so we have solar panels on our roof to heat our pool. When I paid our electric bill this week I thought how nice it would be to not pay the local goons at the power company $300 a month after month after month. I called a solar panel place for electricity and they are coming out next week.

Solar panels for the electricity would run (about) $31,000 but the power company pays $15,500 of that, net $15k or so that would take a long time to recover but they say at both the sales office and the power company instead of paying THEM $300 I would get about $80 a month back from them for the unused energy I sell them.

I am not doing this to "go green" or "save the planet" I have my own views on that, I just want to save money and make the investment on the house.

Anyone else gone solar for power? What do you think.....thanks
