err?  right, the h at the end of $0.65 USD/kWh

chris has since fixed his post.

so to recap, < 30kilowatt rated system, paying out at a rate of 65 cents per kilowatt-hour of energy produced.

that is interesting about the islands.  those cases, you can make the economic case, for others, still a decent capital investment.

OK. Now it makes sense. I though (by changing kw to kwh) he was suggesting that 30kwh per day was the maximum that could be sold.

That's all great for PV. What about solar hot water and passive gain for heating and lighting. The government, along with many others, overlook these technologies only because once installed, they cannot make any money from it or regulate it. Too many focus on cars and PV to save energy. Homes use much more energy than these together. You drive a car for an hour or two a day, but you live in your home 24/7 using heat, hot water and lights. If you could reduce or eliminate these bills, you would save a lot more money then the extra few mpg's and large, unaffordable, grid tie, PV systems government are pushing for.

Actually, Tom, there is a IRS tax credit for solar water heat. http://www.dsireusa.org/library/includes/incentive2.cfm?Incentive_Code=US37F&State=federal%C2%A4tpageid=1&ee=1&re=1
