JGG, good luck building your panels. Please make sure you have safe components,please be safe with the electric hook up, please make sure you have enough sun, that the panels are at the right angle and that they are oriented optimally towards true south, not magnetic south. Or you could go with a pro who does this stuff every day.

That’s not to say you can’t do it. It’s just a lot of work. Be safe and have fun.

We as a people here in Arkansa are smart enough to learn how to build our own systems for solar panels!!! look it up on the Web that is were I am going, yes some trial and errors but in the end it will be worth it to be off the grid or at least a push in what they charge. I feel that if one start and others follow soon these Goliath will learn there lesson where they feel it the most , their profits, that come from our wallets.

Entergy services SE Texas, LA, MS, and AR. At present, Entergy gives Texas residents a check for $2.50 per WATT for solar panels installed. So a panel array of $50,000.00 would get you a check in the amount of $12,500.00 up front. In addition to that you would get a $15,000.00 federal tax credit on your taxes for the tax year installed. My question is, if Entergy TExaas gives the $2.50 per WATT credit why not Arkansas, too? Should we start a petition to get Entergy of Arkansas to follow suit?

I live in Arkansas near the Louisiana state line. Louisiana gives a 50% tax credit. Wake up Arkansas.

I cant beleive we live in such a wonderful State that offers no incentive programs to go green. I would love to install a geothermal system but need a little help to offset the cost. We need to do something in order to start saving the world.

I am planing on building a solar panel for my home, does anyone know any persons or companies that may be willing to sell or give away damaged or out-dated solar cells?

I would like to have a solar unit installed if I can afford it. I have contacted some contractors on line just now but probably won’t hear from them for a few days. I’m almost ready to retire and would like for my utilities to be as low as possible at that time!

I am trying to find out what education / background is needed to get started as an solar panel installer. I feel this may be a booming business in the coming years and would be interested in pursuing this career.
