Did I miss something? Based on the limited info provided on the cost of solar, which includes the initial capital cost, inverter repair/replacement, cleaning and normal maintenance, I'm coming up with around $0.80/kwh and I'm figuring light on the cost of money, maintenance, and repair costs. Do you have calculations for the ROI to compare my results? This was about as low as I could realistically get it, even with the rebates.Thanks for any help you can provide on this.Best Regards, Bruce Good writeup, but it seems to be missing the ROI calculations for the residential and commercial units.

You are better off finding an electrician who does solar work or a local solar integrator company to do this work. Best of luck. Hi Joe,

I am looking for a rough estimate on how man kW solar panel system I would need including batteries (off the grid ), for a six bdrm, with pool and tennis court lighting.

A rough estimate would be great as I will have budget for this.

Its truly troubling that so many of us either think that there is an unlimited supply of good clean energy, or just do not think about it at all. For others, solar alternatives, as well as many new technologies represent a bright light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I admire anyone, who in either a big or small way, takes their valuable time to educate everyone about their individual opportunities and responsibilities when it comes to our future, and our children's future. When we look back twenty years from now, it will almost be unbelievable that we were even engaged in this debate. Our energy future is a forgone conclusion, and we all have a role to play in advancing us toward it. It is amazing to me just how many people are unaware of the energy challenges that we face.
