How is that different from having the whole house powered by the solar panels?

Try as you may, it seems you missed the boat. Are those a bunch newly installed 100watt incandescence downlights I see. And 4 years to pay back... uhh... try again.

yeah, maybe. but still, the initial cost was probably through the roof. Plus, it's not like you're paying less than you were before the home theater was constructed. It's just that now you have an expensive home theater that doesn't require payed electricity

Very interesting. Sounds like a good idea, but the video lacks detail. Like is there staorage (batteries) or do you actaully spin your meter backwards during the day so whenyou use utility co. supplied power at night your using the power you gererated during the day? Most people would use that stuff at night when there's no sun. I'm not sure if a meter even spins backwards? I think you have to have a agreement with your utility co.

The power goes to your main. There is no need for a battery. What you don't use goes back to your electric provider.

Yeah, I already contacted my utility co fo rthe details. It's called net metering. There's alot more to it than just connscting it to your mains though. There is a decent amount of equipment involved.

The solar panels were $5800 installed, theres a federal tax credit of 30%, and a Pennsylvania tax credit of 35%. The solar system installed is a little over 2000 dollars after the tax rebates.
