Participant[quote=walterwhite]theya dd to your cost but they also add to the electricity produced, pushing forward your payback date. since there’s installation costs that remain stable, more is better, but not that much better. the panels are most of the cost[/quote]
But at what rate will sdge buy the excess generated electricity? You are looking at having only a single purchaser that will set his price for your “product”. The risk your initial investment would be too costly will still be quite high.

ParticipantJust a note. SDG&E recently asked what my appliances are working on in my rental. I told them everything was propane and the girl I was talking to told me she was changing the baseline on electricity. I wonder if she changed it in my favor? Really,this thread makes me wonder if they won’t do this if someone installs some solar, but not enough that the utility company gets cheap electricity from the consumer?

Nothing prevents you from reselling the power to Other then SDG&E.
If you want to get technical you could wheel your power through the grid
and become a mini-enron, or you could go low tech, get a Kill-A-Watt
meter, and run a extension cord to a neighbor.In Virginia there is no Feed in tariff, so I reccomend people sell power
to neighbors as barter.June 10, 2011 at 9:56 PM #702578Participant[quote=ocrenter][quote=walterwhite]theya dd to your cost but they also add to the electricity produced, pushing forward your payback date. since there’s installation costs that remain stable, more is better, but not that much better. the panels are most of the cost[/quote]
