re: #86 Ojoe

There are California building regulations coming down the pike that call for net zero energy homes by 2020. It will happen, mostly because it has to.

It will happen also because it makes good economic sense. In states with strong SREC markets, solar energy pays itself off in about 5 years. After that you’re getting free electricity and still selling the SRECs.

It is not just altruistic or feel good. It actually pays to to install solar.

To say nothing about the jobs it provides or the environmental benefits.
