[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]

Even though we could afford to pay for the panels and then get the credits, we decided it actually worked OK to not pay for them.  So we got free panels, free installation, and our monthly PEPCO bill is low -- around $25 per month.  It was only around $100 per month back when we had it installed, so it wasn't a big deal back then.  But now I'm really glad we agreed to it.  Only sacrifice is that we will never have a roof deck.
