Solar Power Questions:
how much do solar panels cost?
I have an 1800 square foot house in Florida. There are currently 2 solar panels for hot water, but they don't work (I bought the house a year ago). I'm now interested in going completely solar (hot water and everything else) because my power bill is ridiculous. Does anyone know approximately what I could expect to spend, and what the tax credits/rebates are? I've found a lot of conflicting information on-line, and a lot of it seems like just high powered sales pitch. Interested in finding out from someone who has done it on their house. What did it cost, what tax credits did you get, and how much does it save you on your power bill? thanks
OK just to clarify -- I'm not looking just to repair the solar panels I already have, as they were only for hot water. I'm looking to go completely solar.
As far as tax credits/ rebates are concerned you should visit: http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/index.cfm?re=1&ee=1&spv=0&st=0&srp=1&state=FL
^That is a database of all the different incentive programs available.
To figure out total system cost I would recommend visiting http://www.globalsolarcenter.com/
They are extremely helpful in providing unbiased information as they are simply a liaison between people interested in solar energy and the installers. If you visit the site they can provide you with a quick comprehensive solar quote (breaking down everything from net cost to estimated payback period) completely free of charge. They helped me out when I was at a crossroads in my solar search. I wish you the best of luck with your project!
