It still isn't clear to me whether or not it's a money saving proposition, but I like the idea of not being dependent on LADWP and doing something eco-friendly. I think the article about it being a net energy loss raises some valid points, however, as he points out, Italy doesn't exactly enjoy the same non-stop exposure to the sun that we do in Southern California. Also, some would argue that the comparison in unfair because the true cost of traditional power supplies is obscured by tax subsidies and doesn't account for the societal costs incurred due to pollution. In any case a gentleman writing for Extreme Tech just posted an article about his experience moving to solar power. If you're thinking about switching to solar it's a good read. http://tinyurl.com/GoingSolar I’m considering installing solar power for our home and a small office building so I read these articles with great interest.
