[quote=Always studying]I have been lurking on this board for years, I usually don’t have anything to add, but this time I do.
Last year my wife and I brought a brand new house in Temecula, it came with solar. So far our highest monthly electric bill was 99 cents. The home builder said it was a $25,000 value, and we did get a pretty good tax rebate because of it this year.
If you were going to install a system on an existing house, I would think you would need to stay in the house for at least 10 years to recoup the investment. Figuring $200 a month electric bill.[/quote]
Always studying, your new utility bill is astounding, esp given your inland location! I’d be interested to know the sf of your new home and how much you paid, if you could so oblige me!
