JR (the actor not character) of Dallas fame got a solar energy system for his Texas ranch since his electricity bills were ~30k year and since he puts electricity back into the grid he got a 300k one-time credit from the local energy company.
The problem: he put 700k in the system and considering maintenance (not a lot but still..) it's going to be a while until it pays for itself...
As pretty much anyone outside the oil industry, I would like to see alternative energy as soon as possible, but it's not so easy...
