how much did it cost to do that sid?

How much did it cost to do what? The solar photovoltaic installation cost less than $26,000. 30% I get back from the feds as a tax credit. I'm in line to get another $8000 back from the state of Florida, if they ever get more funding for their solar incentive program. More about my system can be found here.

My system includes battery backup, which accounts for about $8000 of that cost. We have hurricanes here, so I figure this is better in the long run than a backup generator.

How much did it cost to get my electric bill so low before adding solar power? I don't know. Like getting good gas mileage, the majority comes from educating the operator and good habits.
