[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who has researched the issue:  what are the best brands of solar panels?  We are looking to take the plunge as well!  Our electric bill also averages only $80 per month (if that) and we are wondering if it is even worth it at this point to get the panels.[/quote]

I am the PP, but it isn't me who has done the research - it is one of my husbands coworkers.  In your case, depending on the size of your roof, you may generate enough to go off the grid altogether and actually be able to sell back to Pepco.  It also can increase the value of your home.  The company he ended up going with was solargaines and getting the 275W panels.  My husband and I are just starting to research this - so we haven't compared the different panels yet.  I know degradation rate was one factor that my husbands coworker took into consideration (along with cost).  With the increase on the grid rate that Pepco is proposing, it sounds like people who lease the panels will soon realize even less savings than anticipated. I do recommend purchasing outright (at least if you are in Maryland) to get the State and Federal Tax credits.
