I can say without a doubt solar panels do not make economic sense, under current prices and laws, for a couple in the Villages.
It is not that solar isn't noble or will Generate zero electric bills. It is how, when and how much solar is generated. You would generate more at solar noon than you consume, and sell to the utility at wholesale (approx 7 cents a kwh). But buy it at night or non peak hours at 11.7 cents (retail).

When we were looking to purchase a house very end of last year met a fellow who had solar panels and claimed he was breaking even on electricity.
He did say he got a great deal in purchasing the panels.
Any chance he was on the level?
