Crazybanshee Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Here in Colorado Solar City only leases their equipment. I bought mine outright from SolarUSA so once I pay off my loan all the power I generate is mine for free. Loan payment is the same as my utility bill was for eight years than it is all mine.

ynot Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 My understanding of solar and I may be wrong is the actual break even point is about 22 years. That's a long time to just break even. Here in Nv. you can't sell excess energy back to Nv. Energy company which holds a monopoly in this state. They are actually charging solar customers a higher fee than customers who have not gone solar. I am pretty convinced it's BS and I don't see it working financially for me.

RUn2it Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It's not rocket science, do it yourself. Costco has 100 watt solar panels that I paid $139 shipped, and highly rated panels. They're on the motorhome but the cool deal with a residence is no batteries, use the electric co grid for "storage". You can add panels as you can afford them, and prices keep going down and efficiency keeps going up. All the cables are pre-sized with snap lock waterproof connectors, order online and way better price. Not sure about the states subsidizing if you do it yourself but a little head scratching and you can probably figure a way to work that part of it too. If you work on your quad, LT car etc you can do solar. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandpirates2 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Friends of ours just had them install a whole system and when it rained, they had so much roof damage it was crazy. 6 different spots that rain went into their house taking out sheetrock ceiling in multiple rooms along with floor damage from the rain. Had to tarp his whole roof until they got out there...2 days later, they suck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazybanshee Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Just an update. I have been generating approx. 53KWH per day and have turned my meter backwards 325KWH. I use approx. 19KWH per day during the summer. I still have four more months to bank before I turn the heat on for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineurbiz Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 My neighbor is having them install a system right now and he went through some process to get it all free. They are still installing so time will tell on how well they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazybanshee Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Our sun room has electric heat but the house is forced air. It just runs a lot cause the wife likes the house warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegas FX400 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 A co-worker of mine has solar, can't remember the company though. They installed everything for free...the equipment is the companies and he buys power from them at a discounted rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
