[APD] Re: Sunlight in a tube - Solar Power
"Our electric bill went from over $100 a month to about $230 for the first
year."
So, rounded, a savings of about $1000 a year?
"So...realized price was about $13500 but $16000 out of pocket."
$16,000 invested at a mediocre return of 10% is $1600 a year.
Not bad, it's getting closer to break-even. Plus you get to run the hot tub
and AC, so there's that.
We installed photovoltaic on our new convention center addition and the
return rate was negative, but -somebody- has to get it started was the
justification. Hate to say it though, but our (Austin, TX) cheapest
electricity is nuclear, and we tried like hell to sell our share of that
facility. We -really- need to get going on the fusion thang...
