About this project:
"
“I’d recommend solar power to any homeowner. Why move in somewhere where your electric bills will be $300 a month when you can keep them at $30 or $40? It’s a few thousand more to start with, but the payback will not take long at all. You get your tax credit the first year, and you could save a couple thousand a year on your electric bill.”

Dawes Family Feeds the Grid
Jim and Janice Dawes bought their new home to be closer to their grandkids—the solar system was just an extra perk. But now that they’re paying about $26 a month on electricity and adding power to their local grid, they’ve been converted.
