Kelly, I don’t sell Home Depot’s solar panels but you should look at 1 Block off the Grid and see if you take part of their group buying on solar or leasing solar from them. The CEO told me in NJ that a watt is costing about $4.5.

A 10KW usually produces 11,500-12,000, but that is in NJ. Fla, you will do better. You just have to worry how they mount it for hurricanes. So, let’s say in Fla you get 14,000 kilowatts from it, then you multiple that amount times .12. This is what you get for free in addition to tax rebates. Does Fla offer any incentives?

As I mentioned before, if it is too expensive, consider leasing. See my article about solar leasing ( http://bit.ly/liLlik.) Anna

How much power in dollars does you 10kw system produce? I pay .12 per kw here in Pensacola and I want to get enough panels to offset my entire bill.

Thanks,
Please call me if you would like?

Solar panels all the way! I am looking into purchasing some myself, and reading articles like this is reassuring. Thank you!

Mark, that’s great! Who did you use to install your panels and how big is your system? Anna

Anna,

I must say that the system is working very well. I have gone 4 months (April 2010 thru July 2010) with no electric bill. With the price of 2010 SREC’s selling at $677, and 2011 SREC’s already selling at $640. My system will paid for itself in about 4.5 years!

I had The Home Depot install a 10KW solar system on my house for the cost of $82,000.

IT WAS THE MOST FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD DOING A HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT!!!

The project took 15 months to complete, when I was told by the HD salesman it would take approx. 4 months. For the 15 month project duration, I continually had to endure incompetence, project mismanagement, and was down right lied to on numerous occassions!

The Home Depot was not even involved other than providing financing and the letter-head on the contract. There was a total of seven companies involved in the project, and they all pointed the finger to the other guy when something went wrong. When I called the Home Home Depot to complain, they didn’t even know who I should talk to, and just forwarded me to the subcontractors I was having the problems with in the first place!

I would be more than happy to talk to any potential Home Depot customers about my EXTREMELY frustrating “Home Depot Solar Panel Project Experience”.

Definately do your research before signing on the dotted line…
