| So is there a website that can give me an idea of the viablitiy of using solar panels in my area? I have a friend that seems to think He can run his house off them I said I didn't think it could be done here in NY. |
You can do it almost anywhere if you are willing to put the time in first reducing your usage, THEN putting in solar. Somewhere on the US DOE site (it keeps moving) they have a map of the US that shows at what point solar would have to be in dollars per installed watt to be cheaper than the local utility. Surprisingly there were places in upstate NY where it even makes economic sense. |
