Add this to the reasons that just make sense to see if this would push us all even more to start the conversation. Thought this might be of interest to the readers of this blog.http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2009/08/13/pm-solar-energy/ Maybe other municipalities will begin to follow this example.

Two questions:
1) Would line 31 “Average monthly power bill savings” equal $90 in year 1?
2) Is the current state budget crisis likely to effect the 35% state credit?

We live in Hillsborough, NC and have a southeast facing roof. In February we'll start getting 120 degree temps from the sun leading to summer when it turns itself off at 175 degrees. The tough months are October when the leaves are still in and the sun has dropped on the horizon or if we get a lot of rainy/cloudy days. During the winter we use the electric backup when we need to but keep it off otherwise. In all we are thrilled with our purchase and are looking into getting PV as soon as possible.

How good of an investment are they? I want to reduce my energy bill but the contractor told me it would take about 22K to replace about 30 windos.. doesn't that sound corrrect?
