Solar Grid Tie-In Systems
Sell It Back
How wonderful it would be to sell energy back to the electric company, as well as providing enough energy for your own household use. These photovoltaic systems cost anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple hundred thousand dollars. Some can be used for residential and small commercial buildings. Naturally you will recoup your investment better in sunny climates. Getting checks from the electric company should be incentive enough.
Many states offer rebates to help make the cost of systems like the Kyocera a mid-priced (at 24,000 dollars) grid tie-in system even more affordable. Energy costs are expected only to rise, making these grid tie-in systems more viable.
The initial costs are heavy. Beyond the initial unit, installation can range about five to seven thousand dollars. Therefore in sunnier climes these are more acceptable and should recoup your investment in 10 years or so. For more information see www.kyocerasolar.com/
