Solar Project #5

Today is the third day of construction on the solar system, And by the way why is it when a woman brings kids into a relationship it is part of the package and when a man has them it is "baggage"?


It is a hard sell to make people believe that something that is going to cost $20,0000 and pay back $86 a month is worthwhile. The greenies believe they are saving the world, and the Dec 21 2012ers think that in the Apocalypse we will need to be self sufficient. But for the rest of us we have to figure how to make a $20,000 investment pay on $86 a month. Even with government incentives we have to figure how to make a $14,000 investment pay on $232 a month. And you know, when a woman says she is leaving on Tuesday, why is she still here on Wednesday?


With 21 cent buybacks for green energy and a fifty year life expectancy $232 dollars times 12 months time 50 years That comes to a hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars for a $20,000 investment. Of course that doesn't include the fact that in fifty years that solar array on the house will be worth $138,000 and power will be at least three times what it is now.
But, silicon solar PV arrays are made of sand. The most durable and long lasting stuff on earth {except possibly the scars of a broken heart}

Of course finding the $20,000 lying around is a problem for all but the top 2% of us. I personally fall somewhere between the greenies and the 2012ers but I believe that investing in energy, both personal and electrical is always a good bet. {Isn't there something in the bible about the roof and a quarrelsome woman?}

As things progress I shall post more.
