Reply #13: I'm also really excited.

You know why I am sounding pessimistic is because I'm just getting ready to bring power onto a property. And I'd really like to do solar. But as it stands, we're essentially using 1970's technology. And in only a year or two we're going to be miles ahead. In batteries and in photovoltaics.

It's an interesting time. I just think I'll hold off until it's a tad more refined. I'm thinking of just investing in a small system, and living off a minimal load until the new stuff is on the market. Maybe one of these electric cars will get in an accident, and the batteries will be on ebay, or something.
