Participant[quote=UCGal]It has the added advantage of going onto a new roof. That’s one of the reasons we haven’t done it… our roof is 15 years old… we’d have to pull the panels in 10-15 years when we redo the roof.
Someone posted that the lifespan of panels was 15 years… everything I’ve read they’re warrantied for 20 years and most last longer than 30 years. So you want to put it on a new roof or you have the hassle/expense of pulling them off when you need to do roof maintenance.[/quote]
We have gone out of our way — and it has not been easy — to look for properties that would allow a huge system to be off the roof entirely without impacting landscaping. Obviously south-facing hillsides are helpful 😉

ParticipantFantastic info and thank you. The area we’re trying to close in has many gigantic PV arrays and we hope to build one that will supply 100% of our electric usage. And, as you say, scaling things up should still give a 5-7 year payoff. Splendid!

Participant[quote=jpinpb]Latest casualty in Point Loma. 3004 Kona way mansion ended up selling for 2.4 million. In June of 2008 they were asking $5,900,000 to $6,500,000. Dreams shattered having to settle for a fraction of their wish price. All I can say is anyone asking 2 million for a place in Point Loma now might have to reconsider.[/quote]
That looks like a great deal for someone who likes that style home. I would love to know if they had any higher offers along the way that they turned down (that were more than they owed).
