Ron61 What companies came by to look at your house. Sounds like they work for PSE&G like the first guys that came by my house. These guys also told me about it not being worth the cost to install. Funny how my nieghbor who has both systems for 9 years now has no electric bill, only the service min of 18.00 per month from PSE&G. Think outside the box for a minute, do you REALLY think that PSE&G, or any other electric company wants you to go to solar?? Look at Biofuel for Diesels. They has attacked this from both sides. I work for GM, First thing I have to do is get a fuel sample and check the weight and numbers. Biofuel is about 85% as good as regular diesel. The cost is about 2/3 less if you can find waste cooking
oil. The lubricity is not the same. The power is also off by 10-15%. The big 3 have started all kinds of trouble with using this fuel. (sidenote) Don't let GM, Ford, or Dodge catch you using a bullydog enhancer for power in your truck, or have had one on your truck. They can now check the soft ware and is if any aftermarket changes where done. We had a guy with a duramax with a knock and damaged pistons, GM pulled the warrantty for the modes made. $14,000.00 out of pocket. Yes he has a lawyer and is going to sue, not sure who he is going after yet. Ron there is a simple formula for finding how much solar you need for your house on average. I went with the max for my house at 10KW system. Did anyone tell you about having to have a sprinkler system to cool the panels in a 100f+ days? Bet they didnot. The panels get too hot just like your cobra motor and they can loose up to 40% of there charging rate. As far as my electric bill, I run low watt bulbs, all kitchen applances are energy star. Turn light on when going into a room, turn off when leaving. It's that simple. Winter time there is no heat upstairs if no one is visiting. Summer time, basement is cool. One 1 room has A/C in it the bedroom. I sleep in the basement. I don't work in A/C. I sweat more and don't have to go to the jim. I also cut my own grass. .275 of an acre, walk behind TORO. If you want I will see who is in your area and know about solar. Most conventions or on the west coast or southwest of the country. There are alot more people on solar in Maine and New England states than you think. Farmers get a real break. Throw a 15KW on the barn for 45K. Any way If you have the number or company of the guys that came to your place I would like to call them and see if they know anything about what they are selling. Thanks Rickl Cobra Bill I will get back to you tomorrow.
