I have a bunch of articles on my website that discuss the system in detail, but as I understand, I'm not yet allow to post any links.

The system cost about $26,000 and was commercially installed. I'm getting 30% back from the federal government as an income tax credit. I'm also on the waiting list to receive $8000 back from the state of Florida as a rebate if and when they get more funding. I have generated more than three times as much power as I've used total since the system was finished being installed back in January. My electric usage was incredibly low (for a US household, not so impressively low compared to households in other industrialized countries) before I installed the system, typically about 1100 kW-hr a year. The rest can wait until I'm allowed to post links.
