Flat rates here in TX. I have known some people to be at $.075-.80 range with some longer term commitments. This is what happens when you have good production and your state government is not a Nazi...

Is that flat rate costs? Do you not have tiers? I for example get 300 kw at about 10-12 cents and then it jumps up to 22-24 cents for another 300 kw and then the next tier is 33 cents or higher. ...

We don't HATE solar power, it just doesn't make sense for most of us. For me to run off 100% solar power *most* of the time it will cost me $101,000. This is extremely in the best case scenario....

:iagree: That's why I said most people would be better off buying a dividend paying stock. If you live in CA or HI, yeah, then solar panels might make more sense. Clearly, solar panels are way...

You guys are getting raped on electricity costs...but if you live in Socal, you get raped on everything and have bankrupt governments giving tax credits. Texas electricity costs are $.09-.10/Kw

Seriously. Panels around this wattage and quality were running $1k when I looked at it. Now, $612! 16 panels X $400 savings = $6,400 cheaper in only a couple of years, and just for the panel! ...

I know, I was shocked by the hate. Granted it's not for everyone, but run the numbers. For me it was a no-brainer. Last I checked we pay around ~44 cents a kw. Exactly. The thing that...

WOW, please show me which stock I can buy that would pay me ~230 a month in dividends on a 12k investment. I am interested!

Sorry I need to correct of the incorrect information. If you have a battery bank big enough to power the ac and have the solar charge the batteries it will work in theory. It's not feasable...

I felt that way too, but a friend put a similar sized system on his roof in 2009 & his average bill is about $35 (down from about $225). What are you basing your claims on? I went into this thinking...

No way, no how, no where, no chance, none , nada, zilch, end of story. 20% tops. $33/month for you. A fool and their money are soon parted. Anyone that buys a solar array is a fool and they will part...

Im with you...even here in Texas, the ROI on solar panels is crap. The fact it will take 20 years to pay off, the up front costs are enormous. That $20k would have been better off paying down the...
