    You're welcome. I'm glad to see government is effectively creating jobs for the local economy.

    I really wish SA would dictate to CPS to establish feed-in rates, "let a million rooftops bloom" with panels.

    When I called the cpsenegerysavers main guy about feed-ins, he said "we don't know how to do that".

    well, go ing learn how, there's plenty of experience by now in CA, Germany, etc.

    If there's anything TX has in surplus besides macho bull , it's solar energy.

    CPS client who feeds in to the grid more than he sucks gets paid in credit on his bill, then hard cash.

    now you get only, IIRC, $0.02/Kwh credit, and never get any cash back.

    I'm OK with them just doing the upfront rebate instead. The numbers still work better than any other "fool proof" investment currently out there.

    feed-in rates higher than $0.02/Kwh and cashback greatly shorten the payback time, and encourage more and bigger arrays.

    Considering how much CPS blew on the still-born coastal nuke plant, I wish they'd throw their money in better directions.

    I would think that ~25k in rebates probably shortens payback a little too.

    The rebate along with the tax credit shortens the payback to about 9 years which is fine with me. It's just not feasible otherwise. It should save at least $40,000 after payback over the life of the system.

    If part of my roof wasn't shaded I'd have gone half again bigger at 12K. I may do another 4K system when I do my addition.

    WC doesn't have a problem with the 47 percent who pay no taxes. They are just getting their hard earned money back from our corrupt government.

    No. You have little choice I bet. I qualified one year myself, filled out my return without it. The IRS sent me a notification I filed my return wrong, and sent me a larger refund than I filed for.

    That's right, keep those glasses of ignorance on. Keep believing I mean other than I say.

    No, I think solar is great. I just do not like subsidies to promote unnatural progress.

    So let's get this straight: you congratulate CC for taking a tax credit and clawing money back from the gov optionally, but not me, because mine wasn't optional. Ok.

    But you support people taking advantage of those subsidies.

    Not when it comes to something you have little choice over, and you don't rally against. CC pays more than his fair share in taxes. Military personnel should not qualify for EIC. Military personnel are paid well, and that is a pretty high bar set for EIC that too many people fall under. If you mean the regular added credits over the years for children, they shouldn't be there anyway. Everyone gets them that has children except over a certain cap. You have to have the cash to qualify for the credits CC is using to begin with, and it points out the stupidity of our law makers.
