[geeks] Solar Panels on residence - anyone?

[Lionel Peterson]

Hello all,

In NJ they have a "rebate" program that will pay up to 70% of the cost of a 10 KW (or less) solar panel array on a residence, and I'm thinking about doing something like this on my house. Anyone done something similar, or know someone that has?

I believe that would go along way towards me justifying running servers 24x7...

In short, they mount a huge array of photovoltaic cells on the roof, and install some elaborate electronics to manage the flow of electricity into the house (or back on to the power grid for a rebate?).
