What if you could get a 20-year, no-money-down loan for a home solar photovoltaic (“PV”) system costing up to $25,000 with only a 5 percent to 7 percent interest rate? And then pocket the 30 percent investment tax credit worth $7,500 or possibly more?
No need. This deal is good enough that I don't need to finance it.AndyH wrote:Another possibility...maybe...

You might want to Mark a call to see. I bet he would install in Mountain View. I live way down in San Juan Bautista (south of Gilroy), and he drove down personally on Saturday. He is starting the install this week.leafedbehind wrote:That does seem like a good deal. The quotes I've gotten (I'm in Mountain View CA) are much higher than that. They are not passing the lower panel prices on to consumers, at least not in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, it looks like Mother Nature Solar doesn't install in the south bay or peninsula.
I don't think there is anyone that has a solar PV system which is just used to charge an EV unless they are charging off the grid. AFAIC if you can get your utility to buy pack your excess electricity you should get the biggest system you can afford/fit on your roof efficiently.LindaK wrote:Sounds like a pretty big system. Are you powering your house too? Or do you just drive a heck of a lot more than me?
That's after rebates, yes?downeykp wrote:My Sunpower 7.6 KW system here on the Big Island of Hawaii is right at $19k. Good luck Aloha
