Until we discover that we as a society has reached our fossil-fuel and coal-fuelled energy useage peak, till theres none. Then we as a society will be forced to except solar energy. Think Green now, before its to late. It’s a huge benefit in the use of solar energy, just comming off the grid to me seems economically feasible.

Arizona is the best U.S. State to use soar power....a lot of good solar radiations!! Thx Regards Cool!!! Arizona is the best U.S. State to use soar power….a lot of good solar radiations!!

I live in the very western part of the state of Arizona and the utility which serves this area is UniSource Electric. The name of the town is called Lake Havasu City and is the home of the London Bridge. It is a wonderful community with a HUGE boating crowd during the summer months when temperatures can climb to 110-115+ degrees F in July, August and September. Not much farming or gardening at those temperatures but great for boating, swimming, water skiing and enjoying a chilled beverage on the lake. Over 300 days of sunshine every year so solar is king in this area. You can learn more about the city at this address. http://www.golakehavasu.com/ You should come visit our city some time :-) admin said [in part] where do you live?

If you have a farm or have a big garden, than a 20 Kwatt solar system would work fine. Where do you live? Thx @Tom

My utility pays between $.17 and $.20 per kWh A.C. under what is known as a performance based incentive. The only restrictions are that the solar system must be greater than 20 kW A.C. and the agreement must be for between 10-20 years which determines the payback rate. I believe selling excess solar does work out at these level if you have sufficient space for a 20 kW or larger system.

Small-scale energy producers will be offered a fixed, premium rate for renewable energy fed-in to the grid (previously, although some UK microgenerators received a payment for selling their electricity, this was not guaranteed). This energy will be bought by the utility companies which are obliged under the legislation to buy the units of energy over a set number of years. Some are saying that the tariff levels have been set too low and that existing microgenerators will actually end up receiving less. The scheme does not initially embrace solar heating (we will have to wait till 2011 for this), but a company such as SolarUK which installs PVs as well as solar thermal systems could benefit in the long run if there is an increased uptake in solar energy.

They were very "green" and chose the house with solar panels. They also mentioned selling power back to the utility company. I never heard about this before so I searched Google and found your site. Interesting stuff. I was watching the show Hidden Potential on HGTV and the hosts suggested adding solar panels to a house a couple was looking at.
