So far the conversion to solar energy has been effortless. We just installed an array of solar panels at our home in AZ. So far the conversion to solar energy has been effortless.

Your best bet is to get off the grid or go for net metering if you can afford to do it. Do a cost analysis for 30 years predicting utilities future cost. The solar that you buy is warranted for 25 years and lasts for 35-40. True, solar is not cheap but where will the utility costs be in the next 10-20 years?

It came out $8/Watt installed.The quote was for 24 - 210W panels. Dividing the total quoted price by the 24 panels comes out to $1,750 per panel.This includes the complete system with the converter and cutoff switch to connect it to the grid. This is also a top-of-the-line system. There are cheaper systems with shorter life spans. My quote was for a system with a 30 year life expectancy.There is a Federal tax credit in 2009 of 30% that will bring the system cost down. There are also nice state tax incentives in CA.<br><b>References : </b><br> I just got a quote for my place. It came out $8/Watt installed.

To power a home you are looking at at between $8000 to $20,000 dollars (it will eventually pay for itself). There are systems that tie into the existing local power supply so that you have the city's power for back up (note: most power companies will buy electricty from you if you make more than you use). Then, of course, there are stand alone systems that operate without anyother power source (these are best for use in a place where electric lines aren't available or practical).<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.solarhome.org/solarhomekits.html Although its costs have been going down a little, solar power is still pretty expensive.
