PV Gap

Sergio Said:

Solar Panels?

In Kentucky, if you build over 500W, don't forget that TVA will give you $500 and 15 cents per kWh for ten years just to buy your RECs. You need to do some complicated accounting to tell you what the cost is, since you're buying something that will affect your finances far into the future.
There sure are a lot more incentives in KY for solar hot water than for solar PV. I would go with the hot water first, then use all the money you save to go with PV.
