Scott, some links: Here is a writeup for a solar house project by NOVA. Even in this short form, there is great info. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/solar/house.html (note that pv array prices have held fairly steady since 2003, and tax incentives have changed, either up or down, depending on local, state, and federal rules)
Here is a calculator to estimate solar output. http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/calculators/PVWATTS/version1/ (The DC Rating, in kW, is the size of the solar array. Typical sizes for houses are 4kW and 6kW. This will need to change based on your need estimates) On Jan 17, 2008 11:25 AM, Scott Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is anyone using Solar as a primary source for home power. after all of the > crap that went down with Progress Energy, we're seriously considering > getting off the grid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:251194 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
