We installed domestic hot water in Maryland in 1976 and the 150 degree loop from the roof heated the oversize tank we put in - it still has an electric element but without it we usually had enough for cloudy days and nights.

We moved in '95 to another county and installed domestic water panels, then PV about 1999, then a ground loop for the heat pump in 2006.
We installed pv on a rambler in
Wildwood in November '09 and last week on a garage south facing roof of an older( '99) premiere in TV.

If you get in before this year is half over (June) with all the rebates, credits, and sell-back your cost comes out to pretty much nothing.
We used these people:

The only downside seems to be we have been wasting time watching the meters run backwards - it's almost like a video game and we're going for the lowest score.
