Is it even possible to fully power your house on solar panels installed on the average sized suburban property?
No cost solar panels?

No it's not. People brag about "selling" thier power back to the power company. What they forget to tell you is that in most situations for maybe 1 or 2 hours a day during the brightest time do they generate more than they consume. The rest of the time they are buying some if not all from the grid. Nighttime 100% from the grid. I have spent a lot on solar and use it for backup purposes. It's still far cheaper to use grid power than solar. I hope this changes soon but for now solar is not worth it, even with the rebates.ICQ me lets make a deal 116894466

Well both me and Choker live in Orlando (plenty of sunlight) and he has experience and says no, not even close.. I'd have to agree with him or else I'd see them all over the place and not on just a few random (suckers) houses here and there.Last edited by Jakez; 10-23-2011, 10:00 PM.Comment

Yeah, that's why I have a range, 8-15k, and if you double 8k, you get 16k, so I pretty much doubled it.
Costs depends on what your power needs are, if you use a lot or get little sunlight, it's going to cost a lot more in panels and labor, and that can be way more than double.
You can have solar and still use power, just pay a reduced bill... some people only get enough panels to power the house without heavy use, no hot-tubs, or anything extra really. Even if you only got 1 panel, it's a reduction in your cost.
So it can be even less than $8k.

Well he's incorrect.... unless he's meaning you can't do solar at night, but then - come on.
The power companies buy from you during the day and you buy from them at night, at a reduced rate, you win... if you happen to need power and more than you put in, then no big deal you get a reduce bill then.

This site has been around quite some time and gives pretty detailed info on what they produce per month.

I think if you have the roof space then it's likely easily enough to produce enough power. The problem is who the hell would want to deal with a 20 year contract via some rental plan.Last edited by crockett; 10-24-2011, 02:38 AM.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

The best way to compare the value of two solar cells is to measure the dollars/watt ratio. The current best deals on solar cells is about $4.30 per watt. For a 50 watt solar panel, your total cost will be about $215. Keep this in mind when asesssing the cost and purchasing solar cells and panels.Don't let greediness blur your vision | You gotta let some shit slide
