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!

Great shot! I'm picking it up for use on www.lifemorenatural.com a site that seeks to promote environmental activism and create conversation about the outdoors. Please let us know if we should pull it down, otherwise, thx a million!

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!)

Qasim, $500 - $700 USD per 130 watt panel, Jan. 2010. Likely Sharp or Kyocera panels.
