If you have ANY decent southern exposure, you need to get on SolarCity.com ASAP. Take 2 minutes and insert your address, electric bills totals, and monthly usage.
Our first "bill" after our SolarCity install was an $18 CREDIT from Green Mountain (they pay 100% back on all energy you put on the grid, up to 500 kWh; after that it's 80% of the "retail" rate).
Call me for questions or for more details, of if you want to see our PV system (but that's pretty boring--it just sits there and makes money for us). If you have a Tesla, or are getting one, this is a no-brainer.

The wind energy plan is 9.2 cents from TXU. (Yes, I know, TXU is not your friend).
Although I have it, wind energy is something of a scam because what you get is a promise to put an equivalent amount of wind energy back into the grid at some point in the future. (I think they have up to nine months to do so, although I have no idea how anyone would prove that they did or didn't.)

Did that. Solar City uses just about any excuse not to do installations in Texas. In my case they said Texas has a law that doesn't let them put solar panels on a roof more than 23 degree slope (memory here), mine was 2 degrees too high. I wasn't impressed at all.
Solar City put panels on my roof and I'm in Dallas (which I suspect you know since we've met IRL LOL). It was a bit of a long process due to all the permitting, but I should be able to turn them on this week. They look great.
That's great. I did have them out a year ago and thay didn't seem to have a problem then but their price was more than I thought it should be. I think the problem was that they didn't want me purchasing the Model S and then putting in a Solar panel at the same time. Or maybe I just got a hold of the wrong person.
Huh. Not sure why that would be. Weird. They are totally separate publicaly held companies...
Well, when I was purchasing the Model S, I thought I'd give them a second chance. So I also asked them about a 14-50. First they said no because it was in Texas, then I asked if they would do it if they also installed solar, they hemmed and hawed a bit and said they would look into it. then they came back with the roof angle. (In talking to other solar installers, I found they had never heard of this law.)
