I did have a very small January and February electric bill but every other month has been $13.40 meter charge. With regards to batteries, with net metering they are not needed. They make no financial sense unless you want to be truly off the grid. Bottom line is I am thrilled with my decision. To the critics, look around, read the news, solar installations are happening in mass numbers, everyone must be wrong.

Wait until you're roof leaks. You will be singing a different tune. I have a friend of mine that installs them. Two years ago he spent the whole winter calming angry customers. Don't get me wrong, I think they are great but I would never put them on the roof of my house. Maybe a garage or a carport but not my house, JMO!
