I suspect that this will be like big screen TVs and computers. The technology will get perfected, the units will get smaller, and the price will come down. But until then, solar is a big fat no for us.

Hi ChicagoNative
Thanks for your comment
Duke is not cheap, so I am a little surprised a $36,500 cash deal would still have you paying $130+/mo to Duke unless you're using a ton of energy and your roof isn't ideal for solar.
I don't know what the other company showed you, but I am happy to provide you with a different quote. I can almost guarantee I'll be less than what they offered you. I'm salaried, not on commission. :-)
Have a great day!
