RedScare Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I wish I had known about it. I would have definitely gone to check out some of this stuff in action. The one on Kury Street especially interests me. It is just down the street, so I know the numbers would be similar to mine. That system would provide about half of my annual electricity use.

Hunter Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 OH How I wish I had know about this early I knwo a number of people like myself that would have loved to attend this outing. We have talked about using solar power for years but even using solar power to off set our usage by a fraction is still very expensive. One day when it comes down in price we are planning to look at it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
