Nice----If I can get enough cash next year-I'm going to have solar put on the roof---With the state rebate you can put a nice unit in for about 10,000.00----only takes 5-7years to re-cover the cost--It would generate about half of my use in the summer and would send power to the grid in the winter--Then you just set-up a balanced monthly payment with the power company and your set...

Before you pony up for a roof full of PV, do the maths on solar water heat. Much more bang for the buck in saving dough.

heh, I LURVE my salad spinner... but I have broken the gear on the hand crank on mine. No matter, I ran a brass bolt and nut through the drive spindle and now spin my spinner with a cordless electric drill.

Yep, my water heat is electric. I do have off-peak power service (5c/kWH) for that but it still was a significant expense, about $300 per quarter, much more than you're paying on gas. Almost totally replaced the electric tank with my solar water heat system. Offset quite a lot of the grow op's power use cost. My bill is now only slightly more than it would be without the op thanks to Old Sol.
