PV Gap

Heather Said:

solar electricity/heating?

We Answered:

you cannot generate electricity cheaper than you can buy in most cases. They only way a PV system is economical is if the state pays for more than 50% of the cost or the power rate is over $.30 kw-hr or a combination.

If you want the most efficient electric heater, you will need a geothermal electric heat pump. You could not afford solar panels to run a heat pump system as the running amps are HUGE. You would be grid tied and have to have a netting meter. You also could not afford the battery packs required to store the amps intermittently between when the heat pump is off and on.
