Yeah, that's my disconnect: I don't have half the cost of my house to spend on the system experts say I'd need, to get a payoff within 30 years. I'm glad Larry Hagman can manage it, but I don't have Larry's
or JR's bank account!
Anyway, I'm holding out hope for the non-silicon-based cells to hit the market at significantly lower prices. I hope that, when it comes time to re-tile my roof, I'll be able to put solar tiles up there on 50% or more of its surface.
