it just doesn't look as if at the present time installing solar makes a lot of sense for me, unless someone else underwrites the majority of the cost. Again, I have a pretty low electric bill, fifty dollars or less every month. As solar panels become more efficient and as the cost of them goes down, at some point it'll make sense. But not yet.

If I were building a new home here, I'd definitely do solar as it would absorb into the cost of the home quite nicely.
