This is good news. I am totally fascinated by solar power.

If I had my way, I'd be totally off grid. In the past it was not economical to do it, but I knew the costs wold be coming down. There was a commercial on the radio that used to be on saying your could get the solar installed for free and then pay a small rental each month on it. Last I heard it was about 15-20 thousand dollars for the install so sounds like a good deal if you really DO save money on electricity.
