SolarCity

haha wtf, so that's over $9000 in installation costs for a small 2 kw system? What a rip off. Skilled labor for household improvements should be obtainable for $50/hr (and often lower), at that install cost you are buying the full time effort of a skilled laborer for over a month!! Aside from being generally handy, I don't have a clue about solar, and I'm pretty sure I could do the majority of the labor required in no more than a couple weeks. Seems to me like the installers are taking advantage of the precipitous decline in materials cost to artificially boost their labor margins.

I would do it myself. I know a lot of people that have done it plans, permit and all. I can also get panels at cost.

And that's why I didn't take you fishing yesterday, you're my buddy and you can't even spell my freakin name right: Florea. Thanks a lot, Jose! :twofinger:laughing

If you have high electricity bills, no shade and the right type of roof (direction, condition, material), going solar is a no-brainer... unless you somehow believe energy prices are going down and PG&E will soon reduce your price by at least 50%... good luck with that, you might be waiting a lifetime and at least for the next three years they already have plans to increase your rates by 33%:
