Solar Panels All Done!
We've been planning for a couple of years to get Solar panels, but the LA-DWP rebate program was all full until recently. We just got them installed and certified now so not only are we offsetting nearly 100% of our electrical usage but our power bill will be almost non-existent!
Many people ask to use the photo, it's licensed as a creative commons attribution licence. So you're free to use it as long as you attribute it back to me. You can attribute it either to my real name "Mike Spasoff" or to my Flickr handle "Clownfish". A link back here would be nice but I don't require it (I believe Flickr's terms of service might though). Finally, I enjoy seeing everywhere the photo is used so feel free to leave a comment with a link to where you used it.
Thanks!

Wow! 36 panels * 130 W? Who made those panels? How did they work for you over the winter and spring? Will you let us know your results when you've had them for a year?
They look great; you appear to have covered most of your southern exposure!

It's a blog about solar basics and financing residential solar. This post is about leasing in Connecticut (though I know you're in L.A. So am I. Howdy, neighbor!)

eastpole (29 months ago | reply)
Qasim, $500 - $700 USD per 130 watt panel, Jan. 2010. Likely Sharp or Kyocera panels.
