    Having these folks give a pitch about a zero cost (?) roof top solar system. Any experience, things to be wary of, or competitors?

    Any thoughts on how good, or not, solar powered outdoor lights are now? A few years ago I wouldn't even consider it, but not sure if they have come far enough for consideration instead of running line to an eave or other location. Also, in the event of power outage there is an obvious...

  15. Additional Power
    In 2 weeks I have a solar consultant coming to the house. I'm thinking of going all solar instead of the generator route (although I will have a small generator for backup). Anyone have first hand solar experience to share?
