Although I'm in "Hurricane Gulch", we don't have that consistent a wind. and
my ranch style house pretty much fills the lot. So I really did not consider
Wind at all. I have a South West facing roof though. So figured that Solar
was my best bet.

Hi Rich,
I didn't go with solar for my installation, but instead opted for wind
- for my location it made much better sense (or is that cents). However, the
company I used, Energy Options (http://www.energyoptions-wind.com/), does
solar as well as wind and I'm quite pleased with the work they did for me,
both in terms of workmanship, product delivered, and price. Schedule was a
little 'iffy' but that was more a result of local permitting hassles than
anything else. When are you considering doing this? Have you considered wind
instead? If you have an acre or more of land and good wind there is more
energy to be recovered from wind than from the sun, and the rebates per watt
(nameplate) are higher, thus making wind even more affordable. My
installation was rated 10 kW (nameplate) and qualified for a $3.00/watt
rebate from the CEC (California Energy Commision) - yep, you calcualted that
right - $3.00/watt x 10 kw = a $30,000 rebate. That plus a 30% tax credit on
the total installed price resulted in a total out of pocket cost for the
system of about $9K. Not too shabby. As wind is estimated to be an available
resource in my area at slightly over twice the time solar is available (on
average) it would have taken a 20 kW solar installation to generate an
approximately equivalent amount of electricity to what my wind turbine puts
out, and that would have been a bit cost prohibitive for me. Especially as
solar only qualifies for a $1.50/watt (nameplate) rebate (but you still get
the 30% of installed cost tax credit). Anyway, give EO a call and see if
they can do something for you. No harm in trying.
