We found a great couple for Rosy to live with!

Here my understanding is you still get a electric bill but at a lower rate. The electric company gets all the power generated and sells it back to you at lower rate (no start up cost for panels, they belong to electric company) Because they own the solar panels they also get the government credits or what ever its called. If your lucky bill might be cut in half, never free.

You can buy them and they are paid for over 7-10 years at less then you are paying right now. After that free-should last 25 years. You get all of the gov't incentives. If you get "free" panels they get the tax credits.

When I questioned my contractor about solar, he knew how to kill the idea. Do you really want those UGLY panels on your new roof, you picked out such pretty roof tiles. Nope don't want ugly, next idea.

When we put up a new roof years ago, I agonized over the color. Never look up to see it now. You should have put in solar. That's more important than color. Says someone who just got her second pair of fuchsia glasses.

LOL isn't it funny, I drove to different houses that had tiles I was thinking about. I don't think I ever look at roof.
