Also...would it be smarter to pay MORE per month on that loan and pay it all off quickly and save on interest...or just pay the minimum and treat that as your new "power bill" and keep it low?
On one hand that would keep your power bill low at $117. On the other hand you could save thousands in interest over the years and pay it off quickly and have a power bill of $0

Here in Nevada they have made law after law that have made that almost impossible to do. They keep you paying the power utility under all circumstances.
Which sucks because out here in the desert is THE place that solar energy would work the best.
Robbie did't Las Vegas just recently become the first US city to officially be run completely on Solar energy? I'm pretty sure I read that on CNN not long ago. I wonder if that is why prices there are whacky.........they may want to keep a stranglehold on that method since now it's cheap for them and can keep charging you for it.
