At any rate, are we fooling ourselves? I know reducing the energy we use is a good thing, so the well-insulated house and energy star appliances are all good. I also know using the low VOC stuff is good. And the Solar Water heater makes A LOT of sense. Same goes for the passive solar design. For centuries, people built around the sun, only recent did builders forget how to do that. I guess I’m just not convinced yet on the active solar model being employed.
OK, I got the answer on this. We are actually going to be considered independent power producers, as I understand it. The nice thing about this, is we can actually depreciate the cost of the panels as a business expense (again, as I understand it. I am not a tax lawyer or accountant.) I still believe this is different from net metering, but has the net effect, as Doug pointed out in the comments on the last post, of reducing peak demand, etc.
