Ok, I am looking at getting solar power for my home.

I live in the desert, in souther California, and for the past year have average over 150Kw per day in power. I have a few companies coming to give me quotes next week and was wondering if anyone else has any experience in this topic.

Alot of companies profess that their panels will capture X amount of sunlight, which will be converted into X amount of energy.

I am just wondering if in other peoples experience, the numbers they were given (on how much they would save or power they would create) was/is accurate.

Also if you did get a system for your home, can I ask the size of your home and how much the system cost.

Thanks again
DTT

Well... We have been off the grid for 11 years now. But in a RV not a "stick" home. Different problems and solutions. However, I am using a satellite internet system and computer to access this forum and both are powered by sunlight.

Keep searching the internet. Try the following.

Good luck.
