thanks, but I was think more of the cost of panels and installation. Every frickin' website wants my personal info so they can bug me.

Hmmm...this is surprisingly difficult to find because the prices have fallen so much this year due to decreased demand due to the recession and increased production.

Screw it, I'm buying a Hummer.  :)
I'll be impressed if you buy a Hummer as the vehicle you tow behind your RV for long trips and vacations.   :D

Hey MB use this: http://www.solar-estimate.org/index.php?page=solar-calculator

All they need is your zip code no other info needed.

You have to scroll down a bit to get the actual money involved in $ per watt.  So it looks like a 1000K system would cost $9,000.  But it will vary a bit depending on who is installing it.

Dude, you rock.

QuoteAssumed Installation Gross Cost:
"Gross Cost" is the cost before any rebates, incentives, tax credits, etc. are applied. See the Cost Notes, below!

$134,370

ESTIMATED NET COST:     $ 76,559

heh. pass.

Oh, ok.  I thought you really thought that the technology was perfect, and was not just fucking with you to alleviate my boredom.

Sorry I have been rather short tempered on here for awhile.  Maybe I need a Languish break again.

I thought there were more government incentives. ~ 50% ain't bad, but I ain't putting up 75K+ on that.

You might try a smaller system that you can afford, try changing the percentage at the top.

50% is really good, Ohio must have a generous incentive system.

How'd it go from $9,000 to $134,370? :yeahright:

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
