currently willing to install panels only does so on pitched roofs. Almost every single roof in Santa Fe is flat. Fifty bucks a month is practically nothing. I think that is the lowest of all my utilities: internet/phone, water/sewage, and gas. Well, actually the gas bill is much lower during the summer, but rises quite a bit during the winter. If solar energy also gave me heat, it would start being cost effective. Until then, everything is copacetic.
