For Bob
From my calculations home solar panels doesn't pencil out. I think you really need a battery pack to make them effective and that kills it. I think solar is much better on a large scale. In CA all new homes will have solar so that makes more sense. But retrofitting a roof is expensive. Now if you have room for a solar array on the ground that might make sense. For those that live in track homes we don't have enough room.
My favorite solar project but it definitely won't fit in my yard.
