Poll question: At what price point would you convert to solar power?
Advertisements [?]
To me it is insane to continue living at the mercy of the local power company. I would love to go off grid but the costs are prohibitive initially. If I lived in a windier area it would be a no brainer to convert to a wind system.
From my research I would have to spend around 25,000 to set up my home to go solar. I would break even in 20 years over current utility rates.

The pole question is;

At what initial cost would you go off grid?
