Solar?

[moneymaker]

I’m a little confused, I thought legislation was just written to ensure the consumer/producer could sell the electricity back to SDG&E. I’m thinking about doing it, I suppose what is keeping me from doing it is I don’t fully understand how the electricity gets back to SDG&E. I assume it goes to the neighbors. Does anybody know if SDG&E meters at the stepdown transformer. I doubt that they do, so they are just trusting the meter I suppose. Without selling it back I don’t think it pencils out for us as we are not really using much electricity during the day when the panels are producing the most.

I’m also considering going solar too when they implement the legislation for us to sell back the energy to SDG&E. Right now, I’m using too little to make it worthwhile. Wouldn’t break even for me for at least 20-30 years. However, if I can sell it back, then I can actually get free energy and get paid too. Add in the PACE program, where I don’t have to pay anything upfront and it would be a no braner for me.

The panels last 30 -40 years but the roof will only last 10-20.I’d be sure to get a nice metal roof before installing the panels or you might have to pay an electrician to remove and replace them when the roof is replaced.
