I looked into them and was somewhat turned off. The local electric coop is pretty discouraging. Roof top panels I want to be heavily involved in the installation BUT the coop insists that their "approved" contractor install them--how do I know those panels don't overload the roof and that the fasteners aren't shorted. I hired the metal roof put on and the first windy day found out just how much they shorted the fasteners--thought I was going to louse the roof till I got all the screws in. And you have to buy the solar panels approved by the coop. The paying works like this-- when you draw power from the grid the meter runs to count up the kilowatts and when the panels produce more electricity they you use the meter runs backward or counts down the kilowatts. At the end of the year if the meter is less then the beginning of the year you are paid what the coop has to pay the same rate a large generator of power. All sounds OK right now think about the monthly, each month you pay the coop billing rate for power drawn from the grid; sounds fair? Now in the winter the days are shorter and cloudy and you need more power to heat the house, not much chance of a surplus of power HOWEVER in the summer the days a longer and average clearer but you need to run the air conditioner so maybe you will have a surplus but not much and you don't get back the rate you paid out for power. So how do you pay for the panels AND the installation. If it were done month to month it would be better and the rates need to be closer together. That was my conclusion.
