[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]My solution is to keep my (too) big DC house uncomfortably warm in the summer. After that first $525 Pepco bill in July, I set the thermostat at 80 degrees during the day / 78 at night. I've said this before on these kinds of threads, but, those of us for whom a $500 pepco bill is a problem are not the people who can spend $30k on panels. If I could finance $1200/month for years to pay off the panels, I wouldn't be bitsching about a couple of $500 pepco bills, would I? [/quote] DC has free solar options. You won’t get the tax credit or the SRECs, but you will save on your electric bill. [/quote] I'm trying to decide between the no-cost (I pay nothing for the install, but the company keeps the SRECs and owns the system) and regular option. I'd love any thoughts as to which is preferable at this point. I have the savings to finance the panels etc..[/quote] Can you let us know how many MW is your system, and what the quoted price is for the install? You would have to sign the contract and pay for the solar by the end of the year for the tax credit. How much are you expected to save per year on electricity with the lease? If you know the above, I could give you a decent overview of what to expect if you buy vs. lease.[/quote]
