The initial cost (including rebates) was much as you describe, and I must run the generator for an hour or so on gray/rainy days and this uses propane, which is not cheap. The storage batteries must be replaced every so often--also not cheap. But our power is completely from the sun on all sunny days and we have a great feeling of satisfaction in our off the grid status. I would not change it for the world. Most of my friends who have installed solar panels have gone with a grid tie system such as you have, and in some ways this is by far the easier option. Any and all versions of solar power are to be applauded, in my opinion.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-14128615826424790092012-01-27T06:23:02.968-08:002012-01-27T06:23:02.968-08:00laughing at brett's comment. :)
