Solar?

[Trojan4Life]

Finally getting settled into the new house and we’re contemplating the installation of solar power. We have a 13K gallon pool and that is driving our electrical bill costs upward. We haven’t had to run air yet, and our first full month’s electrical bill was $160. If we ran a/c regularly in summer time months I can see the bill hitting $300-400.

The first estimate we received was $29K, but requires us to relocate the pool’s solar heating system from our southern exposed roof to the northern side.

I’d like to hear your feedback on the viability and ROI on residential solar power. We plan on keeping this as our forever home.

I’ve read many conflicting reports on pay back periods, but they aren’t exactly spurring massive investment. So justifying it may require a shift in mindset. As long as there is some financial justification, the remaining decision can be based on conscience, beliefs, or pioneering spirit. I’d be more concerned about any ground breaking technology around the corner, and long term energy costs. Just my tuppence.

I’m not clear what is driving your pool electricity costs? The pump?

Don’t underestimate the cost of run the pump. Do you use the pool heater a lot? You have ocean view, so you must be living in mild temp area. Paying $160/month without AC seems quite high for a 3/2 house.

Based on your numbers it may take up to 12 years for you to recoup the initial investment. It will only make financial sense if you plan in your home for more than 15 years.
