You really need to look into it further. Maintenance on the system is ongoing and NOT CHEAP. 

I sat down with the panel/inverter supplier and made him crunch the numbers to include upkeep on the system such as battery longevity and panel deterioration. Turns out the panels DO deteriorate as their surfaces oxidize.

In the end costs averaged 50% more on average over a long term than just purchasing the energy from the traditional grid. 

The only reason I was going to switch over was our traditional grid was not reliable. In the spring, when I need it to be reliable to keep the sump pump running.

I finally settled on a generator with an automatic system that starts it up and keeps the energy coming when the grid goes down. 

The grid is much more reliable these days but you can bet at least once every spring or in the dead of winter the line goes down. I finally succumbed to time constraints and switched from wood heat to natural gas, which believe it or not the NG proved to be cheaper when all of the expenses to get it were factored in and I never bought any. Wood is still available and plentifu because of the bug kill of pine in our region. 

I spoke with several people that were on Solar systems and they all said that after living with it and the negatives in the set up, they would go onto the traditional grid if and when it becomes available to them. 

The thing that really convinced me to stay away was how many USED SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE. I've spoken to some of the sellers and they said Solar was a losing proposition for them from the day they went onto it. Always something going wrong that was usually expensive. Not only that, finding people that knew enough about the systems to troubleshoot/repair the issues was extremely difficult. 


GLTA the good folks here
