Solar doesn't work? Wind energy doesn't work? Nuclear doesn't work? Yep,
you are insane all right.

They "work" they just don't make economic sense.

I'm thinking of doing a small scale solar electric project just for
grins since I've got a nice south facing roof and plenty of that
famous Florida sunshine.

The price of panels is now down to about $1/watt if you buy on EBAY.
System costs for batteries/inverters/wiring/installation no doubt more
than double or triple the panel cost but I don't know how much.

At what price point can we get a decent ROI assuming 10 cents a KWH
from LCEC and a 12 to 15 year system life?

I just looked at that Ebay ad. They are a pretty good deal at a buck a
watt.
The real plan these days is to ditch the whole battery thing and use a
grid tie inverter. That is really the only way to get the rebates too.
It is worth looking at if the $1 a watt thing is true.
My first PV project will be a solar pool pump.

But Scotty says that FOX says that it won't work!
