OTOH, I'm enjoying the solar discussion. A local company in my area (Montgomery county Md) is offering a new system where they own the solar panels on your roof... you essentially lease from them... and pay a monthly amount for the panels that is less than your monthly electric bill, and never changes. Some circles think it is the solar infrastructure system of the future.
I agree that decentralized power is better, though I often vaccilate between connection to a grid or your own storage system.
