BAD BAD BAD!!! Information - Totally False!!

CA has a great rebate program for solar, almost as good as NJ. I put a solar array on my house 18 months ago and it is a great investment. My system is a 10KW system which produces about 12,000 KWH a year, and after rebates cost me about $18K. It saves me all that money in electricity plus I sell the srecs which are the right to claim you produce solar power for another roughly $3,000 a year! System will pay for itself in under four years. Go Solar!
